    Ring is just overwhelmed by the red, I would have gone for Macro shot on the ring bringing it more into the forefront. Right now the Red Cloth just overwhelms what I would think was the centre piece of the Photo. Just my

    Agree with A.L. here - this is far better suited to a macro shot and the red is stealing the show.
