Engagement ring

My cousin got engaged recently and I snapped a shot of her ring at the dinner table. Let me know what you think.

I dont think you could get much better. Lighting is spot on, DOF Spot on, Focus spot on...even pulled a lot of detail off the rose petals. Superb!

The clarity is amazing and I feel like it's exposed just right to capture the lusciousness of the rose. Good work

Beautiful..... the dark red rose is the perfect showcase for the ring!

Thanks for all the compliments guys. Theres a few VERY minor things I wish i could change but I think it turned out pretty nice for what the conditions were.

lovely shot it does look like the stone is just slightly out of focus if I have to nit pick

yeah the upper portion is

I like it, but the image is a bit dark. A little bump in the brightness won't hurt & the rose will still retain its delicate details.

Great shot! I would have to agree that the stone is slightly OOF for me. I'm a noob SLR'er and recently tested my 100mm macro on my wife's ring and had problems getting the stone in focus so I'm not sure if there's a trick to it or not. Probably just practice like everything else.

Agreed. At first glance, it just looks too dark to me.

My other nit pick would be to re-frame a bit to put the ring on a 1/3 line; alternately, get closer to the ring to make it more prominent in the framing.

I really like the concept and the placement of the ring on the flower.
