 Pretty simple shot which I know has been done many times before. I actually did this as part of a gift for my wife for Christmas and the ring in the picture is her Christmas present. Anyways not much in post, just a sepia tone, sharpened, USM, Brightness/contrast, crop, and resize. Hope it does well!

Common theme, but well executed with two rings and fitting Bible passage. I'd like to see a little sharper focus and clearer words on the page.

It's a really good idea, but I know I've seen it (one like it at least) before. Nevertheless, I like it anyways.

love this...one other photo in this challenge that i have seen is similar to this...i commented that if they had used scripture in the shot i would give them a 10. they got a 9 from me. there shot is a little more crisp and the shadow was more distinct. 9

Love the image, love the deeper meaning, great interpretation. Wish there was a little less glare on the page, but making the round ring with a heart shadow was nothing short of brilliant

There are a couple of these type of shots in this competition and I give yours the highest score. Why you ask? Because the words on the page actually have something to do with the heart shadow. Jesus = Love. 9 from me.
