The bottom ring looks really good. You needed more DOF to make the second ring look sharp, and yes, Hersheys look lousy this up close.
The kiss is not pointy enough, perhaps you could have shaven it? Or maybe it was starting to melt with all the lighting? LOL |

| Great concept now that I get it. It took me a few views and minutes to get the "kiss" part. Maybe its me but I don't think I've ever seen a Hershey kiss with a top quite that round. |

| The ring is beautiful...the chocolate kiss is not. I actually didn't know it was chocolate until I read your title. I think that the Kiss took away from your image. |

| Nice idea and setup. Lighting does not do much to display the brilliance/fire of the center diamond. Also the chocolate lacks a rich feel and looks, well, cheap like hershey's. |

Of course I can't help but compare it to this photo:
I think you did a good job recreating it. Lighting is brighter (a good thing), DOF is shallower (maybe not a good thing). |

| I feel the dof is a bit shallow, could be a bit sharper. Clever idea and well lit. |

| too shallow DOF, at least the ring should be in focus. don't know if a kiss is quite the right prop to use. |

| I'm not sure I like the shape of that brown thing. Also, I don't know if I like the blurry edges so much. |

This is such a hard shot to accomplish. The kiss really needs to be a darker, richer brown. It also needs to be either included more in the DOF, or further outside the realm of focus. The diamonds lack the contrast/sparkle that jewelry photography is known for. |

| Very clever, it actually took me several looks at this to realise what the ring is sitting on (we don't have those in Scotland.) Great lighting. |

| This is a really good shot, I think however the dark chocolate brown is really distracting and perhaps a white hershies kiss wouldve been better for this 7 |
