 I took the picture in a light tent (used for eBay stuff) lit with a single tungsten light above to the left. I brought it into Lightroom, set the white balance, and increased saturation just a little to bring out the yellow and the sapphire.

Good exposure, a true white, with a great story line in the photo.

Elegance and simplicity. Wish the rings could separate more easily from the white petal.

Excellent lighting, not too harsh or bright. A classic photo that any bride & groom would love.

Love the contrasting black back with white foreground. The colour of the rings—you main subject—is a bit pale though.
