Perfect shot of the rose; the ring leaves a little bit to be desired. My motto is "If you're going to have red in the picture, it better be your subject, because it's going to be the dominant color." Just IMHO. 7

Cute idea, but the focal point is the rose, not the ring.

While I appreciate your creative design on this shot, the onboard flash, kills this shot. This image requires a diffused lighting situation. This would work well with lighting from a window with a sheer curtain over it. The focus should also be sharpest on the ring. This is what you are trying to sell, without a sharp clear ring your viewer will likely look elsewhere for their ring.

This would have been better if it was in more of a portrait layout (like a magazine article)

Composition: ok... the rose needs tobe turned to a nicer side
Lighting: too stark
Color: nice
Clarity: stone in itself looks out of focus, this may be because of the lighting tho?
Lettering: verynice font used

I think the crop is much too tight and the ring is not on focus.

If I had shot something like this, I would have tilt the camera so the flower would be in a corner to corner position, instead of a left to right position. I think diagonal composition have more power than conventional side to side ....
