Recently I shot this Pict in the wedding of my Friend and would like critique about It.

brilliant shot, fantastic idea.

I can see a reflection, from head to thigh in the left ring, perhaps some PP to obscure this would be beneficial?

Focus appears to be on the ring to the right. Good choice, but did not instantly grab my attention.

Is this a cropped image from a wide angle, I think the compression of the image has lost alot of its clarity.

Overall, artistically pleasing :)

Thank you for comment, yes I sow the reflection in the left ring, may be I'll put some sparkle in PS.

Beautiful shot - lovely idea - although I feel the rings are a little lost in the "complexity" of the composition. Maybe not crop quite so tight?

the rings seem a little "disconnected" I probably would have tried stacking them in the center and shooting a little further back.

It feels like the rings are divorced ... you generally want to show the rings together, touching.

One person said "brilliant idea" and another said "lovely idea." This is an honest question (not a sarcastic negative remark), am I missing something?

I see what Tim saw - a snapshot of two rings on a cushion.

It's a nice snapshot, but the lighting is flat, the rings are in an awkward position, and there is no strong focal point in the composition.

Bobby: I see two rings, bound by the same white ribbon... hence, a unique artistic idea.
The two rings in this example, need not be touching directly to show unity, but they are still connecting by some means... (the ribbon).

Just my thoughts...
