 Yeah, so I took this like an hour before the deadline, hehe, there's a piece of cardboard under those rings and I just diffused glow and contrasted it a bit and b&wed that sucker and here we go. i really hope this does well 'cause i'm in a bit of a slump I think this is a very pretty picture. OK, wish me luck and enjoy!

I know all about the law of 3rds but all that blank space makes my eyes travel. Its a nice photo, maybe too much blankness. 9

Love the negative space. I think some more brightness/contrast would have made this shine...figuratively and literally.

negative space can work very well. i think i see what you're going for here. it is a good idea. it just seems like a little too much for me.

There's another ring entry that most likely will make the votes for yours a little lower that this deserves. I still think this is elegant! (10)

Would you believe I would rather see this in color? I think subtle reflected colors in the stones would show off the purity of platinum better. Interesting composition, I can imagine ad text in the empty space.

Nice image but there seems to be a "muddiness" to the background. If the b/g could be either all black or a true white I think the image would improve. 9

They look so dark here... the platinum should be brighter (IMO anyway), but I do like the way you cropped this.

I LOVE the whitespace. The soft focus adds warmth and emotion. You lose a little too much in the shadows.
