Greetings from the Critique Club Steve!
First Impression: Great idea but the subject is too dark.
Composition: Good composition. I like how the ring appears to fade into to the white. My biggest problem with the composition is the the fact that diamonds are known for the sparkling characteristics and this photo the diamond looks really looks muted. It would have been nice if the top of the ring was a little brighter so the diamond was nice and bright and the metal wasn't as dark. Good focus.
Subject: Good subject for the challenge. The diamond represents carbon and the carbon structure gives the diamond its appeal. Good choice.
Creativity: I find the photo very creative. The use of the flash was creative and I like how it gives the ring the appearance it does.
Improvements: I think if you were to show off the diamond a little more with better lighting and this photo would have done a lot better.
My Thoughts: Good composition and good subject. I just wish the lighting was a bit different.
Overall, good photo. If you have and questions please PM me. I hope my critique has been help and informative in some way.
Cheers,
Ron |

| Negative image does not help. This is a decent, clean image with a shallow DOF, but there doesn't seem to be many glints from the diamond. |

| I like the angled presentation. If you move it a bit off center, I think it will strengthen the compositon. |

| nice DOF! (could use a bit more light to make the diamond sparkle a bit) |

| A very moody picture, that you could just as easily described as silver and carbon, nice |

A good artistic twist that focuses in the rock. I like the angle and the fading into the white. It was also a smart move to draw the attention away from the dead center of the frame by leaving more of the left side of the band exposed than the right. The minimalistic look is very pleasing to me.
Great job! |

| Really nice stock shot look to this one. Will probably do well because of that fact. Not sure that I like the edges quite so washed out on the sides and the diamond doesn't have quite the sparkle that may make it more dynamic but, then again, I understand the total difficulty in just photographing jewelry period and it's reflections. |
