 My grandmother's wedding ring and a cheap plastic rainbow ring. This was shot in a shoebox lined with white paper, through a hole in the side, with a lightbox (the kind for tracing things) upside down on top.

Simple but very pleasing to the eye. A little more sparkle in the lighting would have made it beautiful.

Nice pic, I think I actually would like it more with the rainbow ring alone.

This shot, especially as titled, would do well with a square crop, I'm thinking. It would also be nice if the gems had more in the way of highlights. I like the theme, though.

Unusual in the way you have composed this image as it works well... Sharp and to the point.

Interesting idea with the rainbow-colored ring. I think that might be a bit distracting from the actual subject, but artistically it does add interest. Nice focus and shallow DOF.

The DOF seems too shallow, and the stone in the ring could have been illuminated some more for better effect.
