All In

This my first post, I did post a picture like this on the Contrast Contest that I didn't feel was my best. I took this one and I am still not sure how I feel about it. Can someone please look at it and see what I am missing?
Thank You,
Nick

First, I think it's a clever idea and title. I like the way you're going with the composition also. The one thing, for me anyway, that stands out on the negative side is that white chip in the upper left. It's a real attention getter, taking my eye away from the rings and into the big white hole. My thought would be to have darker chips on top, giving contrast to the rings.

As always, just my opinion and what I see. Again, I like the idea and what you're going for. Play around with the chips, maybe, and see what works in complimenting the rings.

I did try that, however the reflection on her ring was too dark then. Maybe once I get home I can try to use photoshop to make that chip black.
