WOW, talk about a macro shot!!! Would have been nice if the DOF was a tad deeper though.

Good presentation and while some detail and tonal values are sacrificed as the eyes sweep down, the overall effect is interesting. Bumping up.

very pixely and it looks over sharpened.

Great lighting. How could you make it better in my oppinion...hmmm.. put a white board infront of the rings so you can't see the reflections and back up a little so I can see more of the rings. Good luck.

Nice ad. Nostalgia is a great selling tool.

I like the saturation of blue in the ring. the clarity is good. maybe the light could have been muffled with a white sheet of paper just to keep the glare off a bit. 7

nice, but the ring on the left either needs to be in focus, or more out of focus so that attention is directed to the main ring on the right.

The lighting is a little harsh for my taste. And the reflection in the gems is what draws my attention. Otherwise not a bad entry.

Reflction a bit out of control in the lower part of the image.

Aw Man! Where's the 300 ring? ;^) This is a fun photo. Very shallow DOF to have the 299 in focus and not the 298? Too bad you couldn't get a different angle to eliminate the reflection (of the table edge?) visible on the bottom of both stones. Good luck in the challenge.

the lighting is a bit too harsh.

I think both rings should be in frame.

At this magnification, some of the details were lost resulting in a bit of a harsh image.
Perhaps neat image (or similar noise reduction software) could have helped smooth the gold surfaces, yielding a softer image i my opinion.

Great close-up.

Good lighting & sharp focus, would have preferred a whiter background (seems a bit yellowy) But the vibrant blue jewel really draws my eye. Very slight purple fringing on the highlights, but thats no biggy! Nice shot

Left ring feels all blurry. Highlights on top blown.

I think the crop is to tight for jewelry advert?

Excellent work on the gems, although the gold seems out of focus.

seems a bit too close but nice colour on the blue

Personally to me the composition is not apealing.
