This was taken at home against a black fabric backdrop, with overhead room lighting, plus one 100w lamp to the left and one 100w lamp to the front right. The idea behind the "wonky" chain was to suggest movement over the palm. I was disappointed with the appearance of the ring - it was a gold wedding band and I'd have liked to have captured the gold tones but this didn't work. The image was cropped, resized and the levels/colours adjusted.

The ring is a little blown out as far as brightness/exposure is concerned. If it weren't for that I would have rated perfect for lighting, and 2 for aesthetics. Focus could have been a bit sharper on the chain for the ring.
Simple. For some reason the string doesn't look plumb to me. In the end, I think there just isn't enough here to keep the eye interested for too long. 5
