my small mind is not able to grasp the purpose of your choice of focus. What is in focus is very nicely lit and exposed. Just don't get the rest, though I appreciate the fine choice of composition.
A great composition which fits the challenge very well. The use of a narrow DOF is well suited, however, maybe the DOF is a bit too narrow. Also the big diamond is a little too dark IMO. What works very well is the use of B&W and how you made the frame. Good luck to you
The soft tones are terrific, good use of depth of field, nice clean composition. I am missing a sparkle in the diamonds. Still in my top 5 for this challenge.
Technical: Fits the challenge. Exposure/lighting good, both fit the subject well. composition is nice. Focus- the DOF is a bit too shallow for me! Also the main diamond appearing to be a bit fuzzy is distracting.
Personal: Creativity is there. Is this just equating jewelry with money or are you making a statement about marriage being costly? ;-)
Nicely composed, b&w and lighting works. I'm a fan of shallow DOF but I'm afraid it doesn't work well here. It would be stunning if the entire rings were crystal clear.
This is an excellent photo. Just perfect. I knew jewelery is hard to photograph, but I had to try too. If I knew about this picture, I would have been ashamed to submit mine. 10 and congratulations. You sure deserve a ribbon.
