Ring Details: Entries that depict shots of the rings, either set-up and controlled by the photographer or as they were found.
Judges Comment: Concept and execution are excellent. Very original and well done.
Judges Comment: Another very original idea very well executed. The toning is particularly nicely done.
Judges Comment: The concept is good. The darkness on the top of petal bothers me as does the shadow cast on the front of the rings but it is still a very nice shot.
Judges Comment: The yellow against the blue creates a strong sense of color and the feet peeking out under the umbrella is a nice touch.
Judges Comment: I love the sunglasses under the veil and the extreme wide angle works well here.
Judges Comment: I like the concept, the framing and the color palette but the shot lacks a bit of punch. I think it would be much stronger if the floor were whiter and without detail and the red saturation was increased.
Judges Comment: Very nicely done. The placement in the lower left with plenty of blue space accented with the pearls works very, very well.
Judges Comment: Good composition and design. The specular highlights forming a circular formation around the ring is great. I would have retouched the red highlight on the lower left side.
Judges Comment: Love the specular highlights as well as the composition. Would have liked to see the left side of the ring brought down a bit and wish the purple background had a bit more richness.
Judges Comment: Simple, clean and well executed. I like the reflection on the man's ring.
Judges Comment: Strong graphic with nice design.
Judges Comment: The colors are great as is the mirror image. I just wish that I did not see the light source directly behind the image.
Judges Comment: Simple and clean with even light. I am not sure I like the upper left side especially the green but it is still a nice image.
Judges Comment: This is a nice twist on this concept. Well executed.
Judges Comment: Another interesting twist on the interpretation of Ring Details.
Judges Comment: Combining the ring into the landscape works very nicely. I like the blue accent on the diamond and think that it would be more pronounced and effective if a little green was removed from the overall image.
Judges Comment: Strong design and color but foreground should have been cropped or retouched.
Judges Comment: I like this. I cropped out the hand holding the ring and looked at the shot as a closeup of the face with the reflection in the glasses and liked it a lot more but it is still a nice interpretation of Ring Details.
Judges Comment: Good concept and design. The wilted green stem in the background could have been cleaned up a bit.
Judges Comment: Another nice twist on this interpretation. The left side could have been cleaned up a bit.
