Originally posted by BakerBug: Your title is perfect for this shot. However, it lacks any punch to hold your interest.

Yes, exactly like most photos found in textbooks. I intentionally made it look the way it does, even though it makes the image less "appealing" as a work of "art."

Comment by BakerBug:
While this shot does meet the challenge, there is nothing here to hold your interest. I can not tell what the item is I am looking at, and I can not tell what is reflected in the chrome. Adding something recognizable in the reflection, or allowing us to understand what the object actually is would help this shot tremendously.

Comment by neophyte:
I dont' know what it is , it seems that there's no real focal point and the reflection isn't clear enough to do anything but detract.

took me some time to figure out what it was, even after reading the title.

This doesn't have enough clarity to convey your message, I don't think. It looks like a pair of shoes left outside on a rusty box?

I think the focus could be better and it does not hold my interest.
