Comment by mscott821:
I like the idea, just wish the color was more natural, it makes the focus seem softer than it probably is

This is a nice macro view, but I don't care for the lighting tint here... If your camera has white balance capabilities, you may want to investiage them. The white balance would allow this shot to 'glow' very nicely in the indoor lighting :) - jmsetzler

Comment by muckpond:
I really like this idea and it's a great macro shot with good shadows and not a lot of glare (glare on the ferrules was the biggest problem in my photo!).

This would be better, I think, if the colors were more pronounced so that it's not so washed out. Or grayscaled? That might make for an interesting shot as well. muckpond

Comment by FranziskaLang:
i'm sorry, this photo, while meeting the challenge, doesn't excite me very much. i think you probably went for those muted, similar colors (no bright yellow or red) deliberately, but personally, i feel they are missing, and the background has a color that's too similar. picture also doesn't seem quite sharp. -- gr8photos (3)

Comment by Gordon:
suffers from a colour cast/ orange tint from the light used

This is a great idea. It needed better focus and better light. Good try and creative.
