    Brian,

    You have good lighting and color. Do you have one where the bottom isn't cut off? It's subtle, but the faint outer edge is clipped. I would probably be inclined to give it a square crop as well to eliminate the empty space on the sides.

    Brian,

    I would use softer lighting by putting the lights through some form of white fabric to prevent the silver blowing out quite so much.

    I agree about the clipping of the bottom and the square crop for this.
