It reminds the song: Don't Leave Me Now... 7

Very emotional, nice depth of field, a winner if I ever saw one.

This doesnt make sense....
Why 2 rings? If she leaves him, she will leave her ring, but why is his ring there too?

I really like the concept to this, and I love how the background came out, but the paper seems a little dark and the rings unfocused.

Fantastic concept, I get the darkness is to convey dark times, but, its too dark. Specifically, the letter and rings should be lightened for a better effect.

p.s. Just so you know I am a professional photographer so take my comments as a compliment! :)

Great use of dof to focus the viewer in on the letter/rings, but perhaps just a bit more lighting on the letter would help too.

great idea and shot...just find the note a little too dark, so I have to mark it down unfortunately...but I love the idea

While it's a bit contrived, it is also done very well. I love the out of focus and backlit effect you have created here. 9

Not sure this directly fits into the 'broken' category...

Very cleverly done.

Very powerful.

Idea is good. DOF leaves room for imagination. A little dark.

Interesting take on the challenge theme. I like it. Do wish the paper was illuminated a little better.

That's sad...

evocative.
great DOF in this shot.
an interesting interpretation of the challenge title which has been executed here really well
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Wonderful idea but looks a little too set up. DOF on the background is just right though. 6

great shot!

Yikes! That's a mean dear John letter. Love the look of the photo, but wish the letter was a bit brighter.
