"I went into the woods because I wanted to live deliberately. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life...to put to rout all that was not life; and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived."
Ah, H.D. Thoreau. Isn't that awesome?!

I liked the previous versions, but this one looks overdone. There's just too much light.

I agree that the topic you have chosen for this image, has been overdone, but having said that, I would like to say this is an image well done, may I also suggest that the hieroglyphics be imbedded into the ring a little, just a thought, I also think the overall image is a little to bright considering the lord of the rings was a movie based on mythical and dark creatures, anyway all the very best for the future, best regards from Keith (Falconian.com).

I don't know about overdone; I love this image and the whole mythos surrounding the one ring. If you think that it's too bright, then the ring's power apparently has no hold on you - perhaps you are a hobbit, or some other race unconquered by the rings of old? I, being of the race of Man, see the ring as it wants to be seen by one who's power it can infect, presenting itself in all glory. What possible darkness could surround such a beautiful thing? I want it, my precious...

OVERDONE? PLEASE! This is an incredible finished,(POLISHED) image. For someone who has no clue how you guys make these images, youve given me a look at the process that begins with an idea and ends with a masterpiece of image and light. Very, very good. Excellent in fact.
