After getting down on one knee and proposing to my girlfriend of 8 years at the base of Mingo falls, I made this photograph. Since she said yes, I figured I would make a print of this one for her. Critiques are appriciated.

I will echo the above. Frame this one for her and love her like no tomorrow. When you are old and grey, go back here and kiss her on some anniversary. Then take her home and have some quiet time, fall asleep and dream sweet things, of her.
Great day to be there -- lovely saturation in the greens, and the water is delightful. And what cool nerves to be able to compose and shoot this image after a proposal!
But where's the metadata? We really need to know if this was solitaire or multiple diamonds? Gold or platinum? Something from the vending machine? :) Big time congrats!
It was a quarter karet (im trying to make my living from photography so no half karot here) marquee cut diamond. These arent exactly rare but not very common.
the band was white gold with 20 little tiny diamonds inside of it.
She has always had problems with remember cool places that I take her to a couple years later and so I told her that I knew just how to make sure she would always remember Mingo falls. Afterwards, when we were talking about it, she told me she thought when i was going down on my knee that I was going to grab her legs and pick her up to dangle her over the river! I'm not sure what that says about me, but it was definitely a suprise to her when i pulled out a ring instead.
