Nice work! Sharpness of the rings are nice, and the DOF is good as well! (5.6?). Text is a bit wierd, probably suffered too much from the compression, but that's ok, in a mag, it wouldn't show like that so its forgivable ;) All i can say is thank god for Macro..(?!). 7

Nice job with a simple subject. I could see this image as an ad in a magazine.

Good stylistic fit between your subject and type of "store" you operate. Typography works, although I'd have moved "Grandma's Attic" down and left just a tiny bit to get it more completely out from under the shadow.

If you found those in grandma's attic, I'm coming over. Seriously, this would make a great advertisement.

very well done
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Very well done. makes me want to go visit this shop. The lighting is good because there is no big glare on the ring. the saturation of the rings is good also. Very nicely done 9

Nice and simple!

Nice placement of everything. The foreground is either too gray or the background is too white, can't decide which.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/28/2005 07:18:44 PM
Very good composition. Rotation really make this picture work. Lighting is well controlled. Soft shadows are nice. Dark refelctions in the rings a bit distracting; looks like the photographer reflecting in the rings.

excellent shot
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/28/2005 12:10:11 PM
Excellent entry and among my top picks. Ultra light font is terrific but is somewhat pixelated. In a real ad, you'd want to lay the text on top of the photo in a program other than Photoshop. For the challenge you did about as good a job as possible with it. Congratulations and good luck.

Clean, sharp, well composed and lit.
All the attributes for a good advertisement.
Nice work
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/27/2005 09:48:04 PM
well done. Like the lighting and layout.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/27/2005 09:18:48 AM
Can't see much wrong with this one, but I can see lots RIGHT. Composition is good, lighting gives good shape to the rings, and I also like the small depth of field. 9

i like the tilted composition ... not in love with the font choice ... 9
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/27/2005 03:36:59 AM
The sharpness and placing of the rings is very good!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/26/2005 10:16:39 PM
Really good picture, but the text's choppiness kinda degrades it, yah know?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/26/2005 09:05:13 PM
Crisp shot and great comp. Font should be fatter (is there a bold? or ad it after you save for web) I can't figure out what you're doing with address and why it is consistant. But I like this ad.

I like many parts of your image, but together they don't quite work. Grandma's Attic with two wedding rings (they don't seem to go together). The "Attic" text is too close to the rings. The border works very well.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/26/2005 03:01:34 PM
Very nice. I might have chosen a heavier version of this font... maybe place the rings on an old BW wedding photo...
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Nice composition and beautiful lighting.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/26/2005 12:46:54 PM
This is beautiful. Simple, but very appealing. Just the right amoung of brightness on the rings to look shiny without looking blown out. Great job!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/26/2005 05:36:23 AM
great close-up and arrangement.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/25/2005 08:36:11 PM
Nice content. Well layed out. I do not like the fact that the inside of the rt ring is not there as well as the outside of the top ring.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/25/2005 07:30:57 PM
Nice. You did the lighting just right and the color is true. Well done.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/25/2005 03:56:56 PM
Nice lighting. Not a big fan of the font you used for the writing and appears to be too sharp (aliased and jagged). Love that border and overall a great entry. 7

04/25/2005 02:37:37 PM
Nicely done, I did not know that text is allowed. Good job.

Very nicely done. I like the tilt on the rings. Not sure about the skinny text but just a personal opinon. I gave it a 7.

Simple and beautiful

Hey - what's so retro about that ring?! It looks like mine and I'm not a grandparent yet! ;^) I like your choice of text. The gold color cast to the image is appropriate. the lighting and exposure is well done. Good job!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/25/2005 06:46:56 AM
Nice image. Don't like your font - needs anti-aliasing. Not sure how text augments your photo.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/25/2005 05:15:47 AM
Focus is out on both rings
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/25/2005 02:29:48 AM
Very nice shot. Just a bit more depth of field, for my liking.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
04/25/2005 02:21:08 AM
Unique flair to the composition and good choice of text used.
The used factor is well represented here too, with good detail in the wear marks.

nice Idea and wording very clear

If only the rings themselves didn't have scratches or noises on them. Great photo. 8

Very nice photo. The fonts takes a lot out tough. Maybe would've been better to type the a litlle thicker and use a glaussian blur.
