Greetings from the Critique Club!

Hello! I see this is your third entry to the challenges! Welcome!

This is a perfect example of the Odd Couple, your idea was perfect. So why didn't you win a ribbon? Well, as most of the comments said, the lighting is a bit off. I thought the same thing when I first saw this. If there was a way you could have put a white backdrop over the record player and really bumped up the lights on this and sharpened the focus just a touch this could have blown the others out of the water. If you ever try to redo this shot I would love to see the results.

Hope my comments help and good luck in future challenges!

One does not see well enough what's happening in the background. I love the idea, though.
