What an unbelievably romantic husband you are blessed with. This photograph that you have taken of this fantastic birthday gift shows the love and attention that you gave to this wonderful present. You have the softness of the rose beautifully smoothed to enhance the appearance of the ring. I can see the love that you showed your husband in this photograph by the time and attention to detail you placed in it.
This would make for a beautiful card or cover of a romantic poetry book.
Very nicely done
And Happy Early birthday Annie

Nice photo. I like the water droplets and especially the glint of the metal and bright jewels. Good use of vignette. It toned down the color and brightness of the leaves which would have been distracting otherwise. Good lighting.

Great story.
Very beautiful ring.
Photo is lovely. Like the composition. the star point on the ring is great. Nice soft vignette brings the eye into the rose and the ring.

This is a very pretty picture of a white rose with a ring. The vignette adds a softening effect to the picture. The focus is good. the lighting is good. The composition is good. it looks very romantic.

the image draws me immediately into the story, it is well composed and the use of focus and blur, cropping and colors is excellent, great job
