Your lines tilt to the left. Hard to control that..mostly done with camera angle and
lens.

Comment by thunderbug:
the light part of the cans blends in too much with the background. the top two cans look great, but too much of a relection in the bottom ones. It would also help if the picture was level.

Doesn't sell me. My eye keeps wandering to the top right corner where a section of your background paper was puckered and created a shadow. This says 'stack of cans' more than 'monument' to me. It might have been more effective to use just one can with a wide angle lens and really sharp focus. This is just kind of dull.

If the background was lit a little bit brighter, it'd create a very appealing contrast.

Nice concept. Good shot. I like how you've got all the waterdrops on the cans. It really emphasizes the idea of refreshing.

A few people said that 'the image might show opposites, but there is no way to tell in the image.'

Okay, you can't see opposites in it. So...

How exactly could I have accomplished showing opposites with this shot?

Do you have any pointers?

Thanks for the great comments everyone. Hopefully, with your help, my scores will rise in the coming months.

Great black and white caputre. I love the difference in value of the gravel and the exposure on the rails. I'd like to see it slightly sharper so we can appreciate the textures of the ties.
