Thanks for your votes and comments, quite unexpected when I did this. Had just finished a job shooting wedding rings and took the opportunity to do this, just to enter something once in a while.

Was 7+ all the week, but went down monday evening. What I find interesting nonetheless, this is one of the very rare occasions, where the average vote of participants is higher than of the non-participants. Maybe the class (with the DQed entries) was very enthusiastic...

You know this has an almost edgy, techy, futuristic air to it - very cool and tough break on missing the 7.

Maybe you were taken down by the '1' who saw through all this thought out, well lit, in focus nonsense :- P

Congratulations on your ribbon! Beautiful shot. I love the feeling of heat, like the rings just came out of that hot place below.

Normally I wouldn't like to use such an industrial background for something like wedding rings, which are supposed to be soft/frilly/sparkly, but the repetition of all the circles works very well.
