Challenge: Yes or No? (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Pentax K-R
Lens: Pentax DA L 55-300mm F4-5.8ED
Location: Indoors
Date: Sep 1, 2012
Aperture: 7.1
ISO: 800
Shutter: 1/125
Date Uploaded: Sep 1, 2012

 This was taken in the middle of the day in my living-room. I wanted more atmosphere so I closed the blinds to block as much light as I could. The bokeh in the background are tea-candles. I rested the ring and the blanket on the couch arm so I could get some extra distance between the ring and the candles (and better bokeh). I few adjustments to the candles and the ring and I pretty much had what I wanted. Minor touch-ups to the photo and cloned out one stray hair and I am very pleased. Hopefully it does well with voters.

Oh, I would definitely say YES!
I wish it were a bit brighter so I could see the sparkle in the bling....

In my opinion you could've done more with this shot. Maybe selected the ring and the box and brought the levels and contrast up. I think this is a really nice shot and great job on nailing the crazy challenge. My eye is drawn to the inside lid of the box and not the ring. Giving a 6 but this had the potential of being a 8 or 9

Question: Will you marry me?

Perfect lighting for the mood. Nice light that looks like it is from inside the ring box.

Would prefer a bit more light on the ring for this as it's supposed to be the focal point here.
Great looking atmosphere but just doesn't have the right pop (well, photographically at least, it has the "right pop" for "the question).
