| A nice composition. I would have prefered the concentration of light on the face of the ring. However, there is enough detail showing to make this a very good image. Bumping up. |

| I like the simplisticness of this. The only thing I'd change would be to get a little bit more light on the head of the ring (but only the head). |

| Good concept, good lighting, and the comp is nice. What would make it better is if the ring was lifted a little to get a better view of the jewels. |

| This is a very sharp image and i really love the ring, but I have a problem with the text. The large letters at the top look pixeled and not rounded. It doesn't compliment the image well |

| BJ.com huh? I think I went to that site once and it wasn't a jewerly site.... Just messin. I like the dof on the image. I wish there had been a bit more light on the stones to bring out the colors in them. 7 |

| Perhaps a smaller font size would be more effective. The dof on the ring itself is nice. |

| Text is very intrusive; a bit too big. Diamond should have receive more light to have some sparkle. They look dull. |

| Pretty decent image of the ring. The face of the ring where the jewels (and emphasis is) is a bit dark. Good DOF. The text used looks like it was upsized and looks jagged around the edges. Best of luck in the challenge. |

| The photography is great and the color right on but what takes from the ad is the text. It is too hard |

| your text looks pixelated, you might want to try to look for the anti-aliasing feature in whatever program you used to add it. |

| your ring shot looks great. nice soft lighting and good use of shallow depth of field. I don't care for the font or the dark black choice for it, though. |

| Its the text. It would have been nice if there was some reflection in the diamonds. I do not like the layout. Wish the diamonds were facing the camera(so all the diamonds are shown) A little reflection on the diamonds may have brought out this ring. Looks like a beautiful ring. |

| The angle of the lighting for this shot is wrong which leaves the stones in shadow. You need to lower your light to a point that's almost below the ring in order to get the lighting effect that will focus attention where it needs to be. |

| Great comp. I prefer a deeper DOF and maybe a different angle on the ring. The text seems to have pixel problem. Your have to add it after you save for web. |

| Nice composition, but the main part of the ring is too dark. |

| Nice shot of the ring but I think the lettering colud have been a little less overpowering |

| I really like the idea and initial spacial composition. I would have loved to have seen the ring tilted up a bit to show more detail. |

| A lot of potential regarding the quality of the lighting used and the subject material, but the ring seems a bit too low in the frame and the upper text is way too overpowering. |

| The only thing is I don't see the diamonds sparkling..I think it needs a little sparkle. |

| You seem to have a nice studio setup here. I wish the gems were lit to sparkle, they seem grimly dull. Advertising wise, your text is overwhelming your product. Perhaps a lighter color, transparent, and/or smaller. Nice DOF. |

| Nice coloring on the image as a whole, I would have liked to see more of the actualy stones in the ring. |

| IMO, the font distracts from this image, it does not looks "classy" enough I think. Also, I would have tried to get more life and shine into the gems, they look rather dead. perhaps a slightly more "head on" angle to the gems would have helped, instead of looking down on them. |

| Lacks depth of field for a stand alone image like this, just my humble 2 cents worth |

| Just as thought... The real www.bj.com is a site about blow j.. The picture is not bad but the fonts need more processing. |

| Oh no ya don't! I'm not gonna click your URL! You'll get love / hate comments for that. Pic's pretty good though - composition and color are good. Good luck. |

Did you check what kind of web site www.bj.com is? I like the joke (I had my suspicions... if you'd put www.beautyjewel.com I would not bother going there checking it out).
Technically, I wish for a different perspective. This is taken from a higher point I would prefer for a ring of this type - shooting from a slightly lower position would have given you better reflections, I think. 6. |

| The stones should be lighted to sparkle. |

| Very nice shot, I would have scored it higher if the diamonds wouldn't have been so dark. But a very nice shot nevertheless. |
