The black dots on the background (probably on the lens) are distracting. Nice DOF, maybe rotate the ring a little so it's on the "up" side of the ring.

Umm there's some yellow crumbs on your background and dirt on your sensor

Ring is not clearly in focus and the fibers of the background are distracting

This would have been a great shot, but the dust spots are really bad. I wonder if you shot through some glass. Good luck.

Focus problems, not allowing us into the details of the facets of this beauty. Nice lighting.

640 is the max pixels you can have, you should use it. The dof is nice. The clarity is good. 6

nicely done, (looks like you need to clean your lens or sensor)

Nice comp. seems a bit overexposed. needs a deeper DOF to show the product better and crisper.

the angle actually seems a little odd to me, like one end is just floating. good contrast between the ring and background. Looks like there is some sensor dust that needs cloned out.

There seems to be specks on the photo?
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Hmmm...nice idea, execution is off a bit. First, the image is very small given that the maximum allowed is 640 pixels. Second - why the dust spots? It looks like the focus is fine at the front of the ring. Looks like the photog was standing in front of the light, evidenced by the dark reflection centered on the ring and the diamond seems dark as well. Nice effort - good luck.

Lighting is a bit harsh here. Reflections & soft lighting sources are so critical in something like this and tough to do as well. Not sure what the black specs are...

Black spots on the image....dirty lens?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/27/2005 06:11:02 PM
Dust is a little distracting, and perhaps a flat base would help this?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/27/2005 07:34:08 AM
Eeek, this doesn't make me want to buy this ring. The diamonds are basically non-existant, the gold is brassy, the reflections don't belong there, the highlights gotta go, and please, please, please, clean your sensor. Sorry, been there and done this. Shot about 300 peices before getting it "almost right".
  Photographer found comment helpful.

This shot does not work for me :( The dust spots above the ring and the shallow DOF detract.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/26/2005 01:55:49 PM
Nice composition. Stronger focus on the central stone would strengthen the image.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/26/2005 02:20:49 AM
seems to be a lot of spots on this image plus focus is a bit off
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/25/2005 10:36:30 PM
Seems to be a nice looking ring. Very hard to make out since the focus is off, there is no sharpness either. The lighting is odd, doesn't work very well with the background. There are a lot of impurities in this picture. If you shot in RAW, it would've been possible to save this picture with some good tweakings. Also some HUE and Saturation modifications would've helped greatly. 3

Looks a little blurry.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/25/2005 09:43:41 PM
nice ring but probably time to get your camera cleaned
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/25/2005 08:02:59 PM
There are some black speckles on the background that take away from the purity of the shot in my opinion, perhaps they could have been cloned out?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/25/2005 07:25:04 PM
Focus is just a bit off here. I also see some dust on your lens. I do however like the background and you did well with the light.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/25/2005 04:04:14 PM
Nice close up, that is something i haven't seen enough of in this challenge.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/25/2005 01:15:13 PM
I think the small image and dots along the middle will get you a low score. Sorry
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/25/2005 12:53:51 PM
At least 5 black spots - pity for otherwise it is a nice image.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/25/2005 10:30:56 AM
pretty
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/25/2005 10:16:02 AM
I don't see clearly what this is... I suppose a ring... but neither the stone is clear nor the ring...
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/25/2005 10:04:43 AM
Hope you don't mind. This might be received as a rude comment and for that I am sorry. This is a members challenge and there isn't a reason I can think of to leave dust spots in the submitted picture.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/25/2005 09:46:47 AM
You should have tried to remove the most obvious dust particles with an editing software. Member challenges allows spot editing.

04/25/2005 02:21:33 AM
nice lighting
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/25/2005 12:43:11 AM
A few spots on it, pity good pic
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/25/2005 12:20:25 AM
Very nice ring, but if I were you I would have removed those little dots around the picture, lens dust?, by cloning. That is one of the advanatages of advance editing :)

too many specks and not sharp enough
