    Great concept! And I like the processing and the font. Maybe play with placement of the elements. Rings on top, title down low or off-center. What is it that is inside the 2nd ring from the left?

    Maybe an Olympic configuration on the rings? (Maybe not, just struck me as a funny juxtaposition).

    Thank you. It doesn't look to you that her robe is covering part of the rings?
    If I put the rings on the top, it will not be the same idea...

    I thought about playing and I tried different ways, but I found this placement to be the best on the context...

    Some rings have stones and that is one of them (it's not shiny) - hey, a lady can have different kind of rings - I tried to answer myself the question about what kind of rings should I use, other then what I already possess... and I thought: well, since it's actually a parody, any rings would do it... Please correct me if I'm wrong.

    I actually thought about Olympics but it would have been too much out of the context.

    It's beautiful, Tatiana. I love the warm colors and the embossed look of the font. What is inside the second ring?

    Thank you Sandy - it's stone of another ring underneath... there are many rings there. Is it disturbing?

    Nice as always. You have very nice buildings around you.

    I like it. Though I would prefer the text to be much lower - perhaps extend the black of the bottom and put the text there.

    Also to have the inside of the second ring to the left made similar to others.

    I wouldn't say it's disturbing and it wouldn't keep me from voting for it. I just wondered.

    I like it! thumb.gif For me the title placement is fine. I don't know where else you'd put it where it would catch your eye.

    Thank you everybody - I may reshoot the rings arranged differently...

    I really like the toning and the very clean compositing work. Nice!

    OK, I made some changes to the poster. Is it better now?

    You have done a great job of blending the layers. I like the rings better in this one. The stone inside the ring was distracting in the previous version. Including the stone might have worked if it were not inside another ring. This arrangement works very well.

    I also like the placement of the text. I like both fonts, so either of those works for me.

    Talking about blending layers, I've been doing this for quite a few years, starting with Photoshop 2 (in 1993, if you can believe this...), which had NO layers :)
