| I really like the layout of this as an ad. The two-tone color scheme is perfect. I'm sure the narrow depth of field, keyed on the stone is intentional, but I feel like having just a bit more of the ring in stronger focus would be helpful. I do agree that having the back of the ring softened is a good call for the feel of the ad. (7) |

Eye catching thumbnail--
Great shot, wish it was a little more sharp now that I see it fullsized though.
Perfect layout, solid 8 |

| Only comment I have is the DOF could have been a tad deeper (to encompass the whole leading edge of the ring and the stone). I really like this though. |

| The big white highlight on the stone really bothers me, otherwise this would be really good |

Very professional looking. Good job with the typography!
I do like the shallow DOF although I think it could have used a touch more. A bit soft as well. Another issue is that the light reflected off of the stone is distracting. I would have loved to see more blue there. |

| As an artistic rendition this is excellent because of the shallow dof leaving only a hint and then the lovely blue type and stone. It may fall short as an advertising because of lack of detail. The composition is great. Bumping up. |

| Lettering is too light, and the photo of the ring is too soft. Great layout though and I like the lighting with the slight shadow under the right side of the ring. It give the image more depth. 5 |

| Like the dof, and how the stone and text color play off each other. The hint of a shadow is a small distraction, imho. nice ad. 8 |

| The graphic and look of the add are quite good. Like the placement of the ring in the frame for an ad. Think the ring image itself it good compositionally, but I would have liked to have seen more of it in focus. Good job handling the lighting, no blowouts and you minimized the reflections. |

| Good composition and overall lighting. Rotation of the ring makes the picture moer interesting I think. Too shallow DOF however, especially on the front of the ring; would have be nice to see all diamonds in sharp focus. From what I can tell, there seems to have a strong reflection of something white in the main stone. Text is subtle, well done. |

| At first glance I really like this. Nice color matching with the text and the ring stone. Composition is good as is the focus. Only negative is the reflection on the ringband - makes me want to know what it is. Doesn't look natural. Edge of the table maybe...? Overall, very nice. Good luck. |

Very effective approach to the subject...the shallow DOF giving the stone more prominance.
The text will be seen as a welcome addition by some and a hindrance by others depending on taste...but it works for me. |

| Nice layout and comp. It needs a different DOF that accentuates the whole ring. Font needs to be in contrast with background to stand out more. Minor revisions that would bring a smile to most ad people. Nice job. |

| Superb lighting mastery. Composition is very good. Text is very nice and brings lots of synergy to the shot. Masterful. One thing i don't like is the big reflection on the jewel. Its very subjective, but its a bit too big for me. Either way, i suspect this is gonna make it first place. 9 |
