Nice photo, but the light on the background is a bit distracting.

This is a nice subject, I think it's just missing some key pieces to really do well. I would have preferred it more if you got even tighter (seeing the details in the stone would be cool). Also, to make the focus feels just a bit off. Maybe that's because the focus point is near the back of the stone.
