Comment by dwterry:
Composition: 6, I like the angle

Technical: 7, Good use of DOF, and tack sharp in the middle.

Appeal: 3, I keep asking myself... why don't I like this picture. I dunno, maybe it's just me. A picture of a printed word just doesn't turn me on...

Challenge: 5, Good close-up, probably almost macro shot.

Overall Calculated Average Score: 5, Everything is fine about this image. I just can't bring myself to say I like it enough to vote higher. You obviously have the skills and equipment to get a good macro shot, so maybe you were just having fun with this one. I look forward to seeing more captivating macros from you in the future!

Very well executed -- white is a little dingy (might be my monitor), but this is a great capture.

Comment by Dr.Confuser:
Meets the challenge. Nice contrast. Good enough composition, especially with the superscript "1". A good study in DOF. But alas, a subject that doesn't hold my interest or deliver much of an emotional payload.

Some photos are just made to be worked with like this. It is lovely and I'm sure the untouched photo is equally as lovely.
