Very nice image, contrast is good and it doesn't look setup

I really like this shot. The strong, clean line through the frame compares well with the detail in the rotten wood. The only downside, however, is the weed that has crept in to the left hand side of the frame.

Buttons

Comment by macrothing:
5 - Liked the concept. Technically, while no 'expert', seems to be you have done well to retain the 'surface' of the buttons (especially the white right rear ones) without 'blowing'. Criticism; I think that a sharper, or even 'direct on' angle, and a more bland background, may have made this better in my opinion. The marble (?) 'base' was perhaps not 'white enough' in my opinion when I voted for the Challenge, so either a greater depth achieved using this one (somehow) in order that you could have adjusted the color, or else using as I said, a blander (and whiter) 'base'. I agree with the comments made (and while perhaps 'rewording' required, also the 'more creative' one) and think that perhaps use of some 'space' somewhere may have helped this. The thing that I 'liked' most about this shot was the 'difficulty' you likely had 'technically' with those buttons for the Challenge. Perhaps a different crop too, again possibly the 'space' issue.
