A beautifully sharp and detailed image of a device we all use every day, but almost never see. The lighting and photographer's angle are very well done and the sharpness is just right. I like the green circuit-board background and I assume the 1's and 0's on the disc are a reflection you created by hoisting some sort of a backdrop for that purpose. Very well thought out and nicely executed.

Nice repetitive symmetry, and very nice textures on the pencils. The soft lighting works well but I wish it were a bit brighter, though it looks like you were narrowly avoiding some burned out areas already. Nice response to the challenge.

I love this image! though I think you didn't realize its potential. The shallow DOF probably works a little against you. the inlaid patterning around the hole is probably beautiful and would have worked nicely if it was at least partially focused. Outstanding response to the challenge!

Lovely textures in the subject and the velvet background. Nice simple approach to the challenge. Bravo!

Soap!

Very cool concept! The shallow DOF works against you though, I think. I'd like to see the foreground bubble sharp all the way around. One of the more creative responses to this challenge though, nice going!

A better mouse...

Very nice idea and execution. Photo angle, lighting and crop are all excellent. I would probably have opted for just one mousetrap and a bit tighter crop (or just make use of the resulting negative space). Nice creative response to the challenge!

White Picket Fence

...and quite a dirty fence! I love the composition. It looks a bit soft overall. I would have liked to see better detail in the ground (plants, soil, etc.) and better relief in the texture of the wood and paint. I like the choice of BW and the crop. Very nice effort and meets the challenge well, IMO.

Yeah, it's dirty! Very unusual coloring and texture, but I like the composition overall.

Have a seat

Very interesting composition. I love the stark contrast of the black chair on the perfectly white background. I would have liked to see a different crop though, with considerably more use of negative space to really leave the chair stranded in a more open photo.

Great idea, but beach and water should have been clearer.
