Well... No 10's but then again no 1's or 2's either!! :) I'm pleased... It was hard to do this without good lighting. Thanks for all the comments.

Nicely done!
The choice of lighting and the glow it created around the ring work well.
Detail & clarity are good, and the angle the ring was placed at works well. (7)

The gold work looks like it's probably quite interesting, but I can't tell because it's so dark...jewel looks nice though.

I like the circle of light around the ring, but would have appreciated a little bit more light on the leading side of the ring. That way we could see the detail, and maybe get rid of the foreshadow.

excellent detail and control of reflections. Shadow is a bit harsh

It seems to me that much more could have been done to bring out the beauty in this lovely ring. The composition is simply outstanding with the neutral background. despite my comment the image is still very attractive. Bumping up.

Border and a tighter crop from the bottom would have helped even more this already good image.

The overall photo is a bit dark for my tastes. If the background were pure white, I think it could add even greater emphasis to the ring. The color in the topaz is very beautiful, though.

This could have benefitted from better lighting. The saturation in the stone is nice, I just wish that I could see the rest of the ring better. DO"F is nice. 7

nice, the lighting looks a little too harsh though, it seems that it's been done with a single flashlight held above, this does create a nice effect but it feels like it wants a softer light source from the bottom right to create a better balance

Excellent use of light and DOF here, can't suggest any improvements. Good shot

Nice colour. Lighting is a bit wierd (from top?) and doesn't really tive the ring any credit. Perharps its becase there is too much contrast between the colours. Composition is good, but a bit on the boring side, since there is nothing to complement the ring. Especially the colour of the 'background', which goes from light white to dark greenish. 5

Excellent composition. Good lighting on the gem; not too much. Could have use a little note light in the ring itself; details looks interesting but are in the shadow.

I believe it may have shown better if the side of the ring was not so dark.
I like the effects.
