I originally set out to capture the 5 rings in various states of spinning, so that they all looked like they were suspended at different angles. When that proved too difficult, I hit upon the idea of the inscriptions in our wedding rings. Might not score too well with the DPC voters, but it should score points with the wife!
taken in raw, converted in PS. added layers for levels, curves, cloning out dust spots and some extraneous writing in the ring. did some dodging to lighten up some areas. resize, noise ninja, sharpened with USM.

Whaddaya know. It meets the challenge, it's well lit, and it's nice to look at. That's one of the very few shots I've seen that met all 3 criteria. 8 :)
AWESOME. My favorite so far of the rings shots. It actually has a meaning and it looks like the rings were more meant to go together than the other shots I have seen.
