Greetings from Critique Club
First, I should say that I like this photo. I think the minimalism is really good, and I love how you lit the shot, using the two pen lights. It is sort of a low cost and effective way for lighting small objects, and you have demonstrated how it works well.
A few critiques about your image. The table and the ring are a little rough. Had they been very smooth I think this would have scored better. Also, I can see the edge of the table in the upper third of the photo. My monitor is set to the brightest I can get it, so if yours is not, I can understand why you may not have seen it. While this is basic editing, and you cannot spot edit, playing with the curves or levels in Photoshop may have minimized it. That being said, I don't think it effected your score.
Overall though, I think its a good photo (I gave it a 6 during voting), and you got a favorite for it, so I think its a successful shot.
