This is among the best in show. Great subject, capture and presentation. Love the form and colors. I could see this in a gallery.

Comment by Paul:
OK, I'm going through the Free Study submissions, purposefully finding those images I think are shot with a less conventional eye - this is one of those images! Thanks for offering something that isn't just DPC friendly eye-candy (though of course there's nothing wrong with eye-candy). I'll be picking one of these images for the Mu (most underrated) award:

Positives: Interesting object and quite beautiful when we are asked to look at it in this way.

Critical stuff: I think too many of the technical are off to make this a great shot - your lighting is flat, the focus isn't quite there and I think there is quite a bit you could do in PP to bring out the texture and colour.

Overall: I can see what you were going for but I don't think you have fulfilled that vision.
