Nice abstract. Good composition. The only thing that bothers me is the light patch in the lower right corner.

Looks tilted to the right. The "shapes" fit the challenge pretty well.

Comment by Neuferland:
This scored low initially because it contains money, which was not supposed to be used and also the overall shot leaves me wanting. Perhaps if it was titled to give me an idea what you were going for. The lighting is also wanting in this shot, it's too dark and almost seems underwater. The container the money is is is alos a bit confusing, it draws you in but the back is very distracting, almost looks like an ice cube on behind the bills but not quite. The overall clarity is there but the contrast is also lacking to me. I started this at a one simply because it was dark, unappealling and did not meet the challenge. Coming back I am raising the score to a 4 for the shot itself because it's not really that bad.

Ignoring the fact that there shouldn't be money...Ilike the idea of the money at the btoom of the jar, the blue glass is neat, but the lighting just isn't enought. I'l like to see bright blue, and some crips definition of the coins and bills. Light that comes thru the bottle would enhance the bottle's color, It would cast blue light on the money though. If there were a way to spotlight thhe money with a warmer light it would help it to pop out from th background.

Nice study in shallow DOF but I'm not sure that that is the purpose of the form Still Life... This would be much more interesting with more in focus and with more interesting lighting to bring out the 'textures' of the keyboard. THe splotchy background past the moniter is not attractive...

I'll tell you the only reason I gave this a 7: the lighting. Sure, it's a bold perspective, it uses good focus techniques, even good design principles. It's a very cliched perspective though. But the lighting, the personalities of the colors, blend together so that this picture gives you not only a sense of what your subject is, but in what setting your subject might be located.

usually when you are trying to create some kind of landscape as in this photograph, it's important to have the focus begin in the front of the frame.

i like the keys, the background DOF is not great enought to cover up the busy back ground which is distracting and takes awa from the lines of the keys.
