Harsh shadows detract. Try natural light and a longer exposure next time. Subject doesn't hold my interest.

The five fingers are too soft focus in my opinion. The shot is harshly lit. The dark shadows are distracting and the bottom of the photo is too bright on the background. The 'shiny thing' is barely visible since it is sitting int he darkest part of the entire photo. The skin looks unnaturally textured. Too smooth. So smooth actually that the light is refelcting off the back of the hand. I'm not sure what caused that appearance, but definately odd.
The texture of the wall adds nothing visually to this photo. I feel that a different background might benefit the photo a bit. Actually, maybe having the hand set away from the background would be even better. Maybe with a DOF to blurr the background. If you moved the hand away from the background, it would eliminate the background texture that I find distracting and also help to lessen the shadows created on the background, which are also distracting to me.
If you added some different lighting, it would also help to make the ring more visible as it might draw it out of the shadows.
I realize this was a short challenge with little time to compose and shoot, and this has the appearance of a quick shot. Maybe something as simple as brightness/contrast could have even helped this shot dramatically.

Interesting.. fingers and thumbs are not very sharp and the lighting needs to highlight the fingers, my 2c worth
