Comment by mycelium:
good composition and concept - but I feel like the white background overpowers the figure, especially given the soft focus. (6)

Background is a bit distracting. I would have liked to see a bit deeper DOF here.

Comment by Brad:
Composition & lay out was good, but detail & focus a bit too shallow on the jewelry.
Background material areas in focus on upper & lower right sides a little distracting. (5)

I don't know if it's the actual coloring, but the ring is giving me a yellowish coloring. Also, it appears the stone in the upper left corner (the one in focus) has a finger print on it. Or I could just be seeing things.

Great composition, but the stones are too blown out and lack detail

From this day forward...

Here comes Critique club knocking on your door

Well you have captured a very nice moment there, its full of emotion and a lot of good things, but since you are doing this handheld late at night you are not getting the detail a shot like this should have.

If you would have used a tripod you might have lost that magical moment but you got the moment with some hardship on detail and sharpnes.

A good thing to do to this picture would have been applying curves and USM to the whole picture to get the edges sharp and to get the sky a litle more blue.

Well hopefully you think this is a helpfull post to you.

The background (skin?) is giving the diamonds an orange color. I wish the lighting was better to give the jewels a shine.

Nice control of reflections but just a little soft on the focus
