*** Critique Club ***
First Impression: Simple uncluttered image. Detail of the ring captured quite well.
Composition: The offcentre placement of the ring works well and seems to be balanced with the text.
Exposure: If a moody effect is what was intended then the exposure is good. There are only a few small hot spots on the ring. This may have been preventable by changing the camera and/or lighting angle.
Impact: The impact of this image is very subtle. Depending on the expected audience of the advertisement this may work though a more dramatic image might be more effective.
Keep shooting.

Beautiful ring. I adore Celtic art.
Technically, I feel that your shot is too dark and the composition a bit too static. Adding another light source may have helped. |

| The light and shadow work very nicely to accentuate the detail of this ring making wear obvious. Simple, classic, 9. |

| Excellent stock photo. Ring seems scratched a bit to my eye. A well-worn friend, a piece of jewelry from someones hand, not off the shelf. Beautiful! |

| The ring is too dark. If you could have brought the light on the ring up higher but softened it with a piece of paper or something it really would have helped. The font on the words are nice. 5 |

| Simple, to the point. I like it. Good choice of using black with the silver. Lighting is fine in my opinion, although I'll bet you will see a couple of comments that it's hot in a couple of spots. Good luck in the challenge. |

| text is too loud, competes with the lovely photograph in a most unappealing way. should have definitely been in a smaller font and possibly slightly grey, IMO. |

| Fantastic comp and great font, I'd like to get more contrasr to show the ring off more. It should stand out. With a couple of revisions it would work. |

| Controlling lighting and blemishes when doing macro jewelry is the toughest part of this assignment. Your bright spots are too hot and the blemishes on the ring itself are distracting to a potential buyer. |

| good choice of a Gaelic style font to go with the Irish feel and the shot is good but I would expect in a "jewerly ad" for the jewelry not to look so worn |

| Nice ring! I have scotish blood, and this makes me feel right at home! Of course i,d wished for a 'shinner' ring, with less scratchs, but i understand the difficulty in finding something nice to shoot. Lighting is nice, if perharps slightly too strong on the reflections. I think i'd want to see a little more of the set on which the ring is resting. Text is simple and efficient which is very nice and quite rare in this challenge. Frame works perfect as well. Very classic and to the point. 7 |

Nice use of lighting and B&W conversion to create the mood here.
Not sure about the text/font used, but still a decent submission regardless. |

| You handled the reflections nicely. I think I would have cloned out some of the lint and such on the ring and cloth but I'm not taking away any points because of that. Nice dof. |

| Really nice work. So much detail, however, that the imperfections (scratches?) are showing on the ring, which is a distraction. |
