I took this with the help of my roommate and his girlfriend. The lighting was pretty simple. It was mid day and we just opened the window and stoof a few feet away. I also turned on the overhead flouresant light for a bit of fill. I balanced for sunlight (cloudy -2 for D70 users...thanks Manny!).

Other than the fact that your models need manicures, I really like this shot

The ring should be crisp and clearer for this image to work in a print ad

Tender and a key aspect of the wedding vow. Good focus on the ring. Blessings.

Nice composition.
Lighting here is very well done in my opinion, with the right side falling off into the shadows. Detail & clarity, as well as natural skin tones a plus. (7)

Good composition. Light could have been directed more at the ring; half of it is in shadow.

The jewelry seems to be a second point in this photo - the hands are overpowering what you intended to be the primary object. JMO. Nice ring...the reflections on the front of it make it look like there is something under the ring. If the hand were positioned down just a smidgen more it may have helped. Always easy to be the armchair quaterback I know. Good luck in the challenge.

Nice composition, looks a little dare for my taste.

ring (that I can barely make out) should be the focal point.

This is really excellent, but I think only lacking a spotlight on the central gem to make it pop out. As is, it is rather difficult to see. Nice hand models. Good luck!

good, but we don't see much sparkle

light from above?rather than side..and ring in shadow?
  Photographer found comment helpful.

That's a very nice photo. I love the light, nice DOF. The ring is not at its best tough. It does'nt really come out.

too many fingers, not enough focus on the ring.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

For advertising, I would've liked more light on the ring itself. Good overall photo, needs more impression on the ring for me to buy it.
