Great idea. The hand seems slightly misplaced for a natural pose, and perhaps a shift slightly more to the back, instead of being on the side of the body, would be more effective.
I agree that a recrop, tighter on the hand itself, would yield a better image. Such a crop would also highlight the ring better.
For this current crop, the focus is very nice, but the lighting could be improved. The hand seems to lack "polish," and has a very warm tone that isn't quite flattering for it. You could attempt to soften it in post-processing, and to remove the light reflection on the digits.
Overall, a very good attempt at the challenge, and one that shows a lot of creativity and energy. There's a sexyness to the image hinted by the bare lower back, but again, given the size of the ring, a closer crop might do wonders. Good luck in the next challenges.
I would really like this shot more if it didn't look like her finger was chopped. The ring is making it look like there is a chunk missing on the finger.
Ok...you've got a little sex appeal going on. The image is well composed for what it is. I'm not sure there is enough emphasis on the jewelry...only the final results will tell for sure. Good luck.
Nice composition and take on this challenge.
I would suggest a slightly different crop to have less of the wrist showing here, placing the single focal point on the hand/jeans.
Good shot regardless.
Interesting shot. Unfortunatly, we don't really see the item. Its probably Elegant, but the hand is not (no offense to the model). Lighting is a bit harsh for something 'that' elegant as well. A tighter crop would've helped i think. 5
