Screwedby MikeOComment: Nice to see a corkscrew on a non-competing background. Shadows too blocked up for my tatstes, though... |

Pop goes the Santa....by HornOUBetComment: This is appealing. It improves ont he other jack-in-the-box in this challenge by emphasizing the crank, which is the direct mechanical tie-in. I sense a slight falloff of sharpness at the top... |

Computer's grandfatherby yomanComment: It's a wonderful object but the lighting and background don't begin to do it justice. As a sidenote, how is a tpewriter the
grandfather" of a computer? Wouldn't that be an adding machine? Or better yet, an abacus? |

Past Usefulnessby brooklynComment: I admire this one for alternative thinking. I wish the back part of the hinge were lightened a stop or so. |

Ole Faithfulby RayEthierComment: It's a lovely, pure mechanical object, but there's a significant subject/ground conflict here, witht he handle getting lost in the treeline and the top of the pump tangent to the strong horizontal. |

mechanics of motionby tazzaComment: I feel like this same shot could have been adjusted to be much more effective; there's alot of potential here. I wish the base were truly squared up, it's slightly lopsided and that bugs me. The purity and aggresiveness of the overall red background seems to be working against the motion you're trying to depict. |

Brace and Bitby DianaComment: It's a strong, even brutalist view of the tool, but its potential is betrayed by the lighting and the framing. The defined vertical of the bit thru the handle would be better placed another 15-20% to the right, I think. And the lighting could be worked with to make it sing a lot more. |

The Simplest of Machinesby MaestroGeek1Comment: The framing on this makes no sense to me, all that empty space doing nothing dynamic or informational... The crop onto the handles hurts. the light seems unflattering. The background feels muddy. |
