I like the idea and the background is clever but feels too busy for me. I don't know what to look at and where to focus. My eye can't just look around it and then settle, it's a bit too frantic for me. I do like the colours though.

I get the point, but I think with all the boxes, it's a little busy. I love the idea. Vocus and lighting are good. No disturbing shadows, and dealing with glass you kept the glare and reflection down nicely. It actually almost looks yummy. Almost. Great job and good luck with the challenge.

I like the contrast between a very old looking pole and the new paint. Makes the newness of the paint stand out a lot. I know this is getting really really picky, but the pole appears to be leaning slightly to the left. The background is very pretty and I like how you have the background out of focus. It brings out the subject more. Nice shot and good luck with the challenge.
