Default Wedding Bands - first wedding

I took this shot of the wedding bands on a window sill that caught my eye. Do you think there is too much negative space? Does it need to be cropped? I was actually taking pics for a friend or a friend just for a bit of experience. I like this shot though and hope to add it to my portfolio, what do you think?

I'm no expert, but my eye is drawn to the bottom of the shot. The ring composition is nice though.

I have to agree with this one. The rings look good, good angles, good lighting, good focus...but the rest of the pic is very distracting...I would crop, crop, crop.

Thank you both. I kind of felt the same way but it's nice to have other opinions.

I'm no expert and I like the shot. I'm just waiting for the one ring to fall over. Not sure whether if it was shot to look that way . Maybe turning flat would help . Not sure.

I prefer the cropped version, but this photo is blurry to my eye. Camera shake?

I guess it could have been. It was a spur of the moment shot, no set up, no tripod. Definitely could have been camera shake. I think I was shaking most of the day...nerves
