Needle floating on water

Interesting idea but the background is a bit disruptive. Maybe a glass with a smooth bottom.

Was this difficult for you? You did it well! I tried and failed so I didn't submit mine. Nice job. I think more dof would refine this as well as a bit stronger light so you can make out more detail on the needle's eye.

Don't choose a front take, show the reflections on the water choosing a lower angle to actually enhance the feeling of floating. The background is horrible.

Excellent idea for a science shot - the bottom of the glass is a bit distracting from the subject.

could have been much better with more light on the needle and a dark background (would give the water a mirror effect too) a 5

Interesting progression and story line in the photo. Are you asking the viewer a question in your title? Or are you asking yourself if you should have used a different title? Titles are important parts of the presentation :)

The post in the foreground is distracting but I like the car pulling out - it makes the evening feel real and gives a nice balance against the quiet of the rest of the picture. I like the light on the street and the depth is gives to the shadow on the right.

I was thinking of an idea like this but I was going to have my daughter chew it and then take a shot of it in her mouth but then I thought, "That is rather gross!" I like your concept much better. The clarity and colors in this shot are as close to perfect as you could ask. My only thing is the light. It looks like it's coming from the right of the shot, causing the one wrapper to be very bright but shadowing the other one. More even lighting on this shot would have score a 10 right off the bat, I'm starting with an 8 and will be back to look again!
