Wonderful capture. I think the empty space is a bit too much though. It is not enough to be effective negative space, but too much to be a "margin" of sorts, especially since the right is cropped much tighter. I really like this in black and white!

Great idea!! Took me a minute to see exactly what you had done here. The 3 and 9 are difficult to because of the way the light is reflecting off of them.

Awesome work. I wanted to do this set up, but had none of the necessary elements except the stop watch! The fingers look a little pink. Maybe a bit of desaturation in the red (though you will lose some of the track's brilliance), or convert it to bw.

I love the happy expression on their face, and the naturalness of their pose. Nice capture.

I love the blue sky, and the details you have captured in the building. My only comment would be to crop it a little closer on the left since it is "tight" on the right. It feels a little off balanced to me.

Great idea and wonderful execution. I don't know how much effort it took to set this up, but it flows nicely, and doesn't look too cluttered! I can also relate to this, because this was the stuff of nightmares when I was in college!

COMPOSITION
I think the composition of this could have been made much more interesting by possibly placing it on a solid background, and getting at a very low angle and taking the picture so that the "controls" as well as the main part of the blender was showing. Or, if you had gotten on one end of the "controls" or the other. Being straight on kinda makes it static and flat.

TECHNIQUE
The black and white works well, and though some commented about the darkness, it looks fine on my monitor. The focus is good.

OVERALL EFFECT
I think the lack of perspective or context makes this shot less interesting than it could be. It is a good idea, just needs a little more tweaking to be truly effective, I believe.

Best to you in the future challenges.

Good colors, but comes across a bit flat.

I love these Russian parties!

I can't tell if she has on dark pants, or if she is sitting under part of the backdrop. Great lighting and capture of her expression, though.
