Challenge aside (I scored this a 5), I like the image. Cool colors and interesting composition. The focus could use a little work, but otherwise pretty good job.

Love the composition and textures, just needs to be big enough to really see.

This is a good shot - it's too bad that it's so small, because I'm sure that's why the score suffered like it did. Looks like the focus and composition are both good, plus you got good range from the duotone processing.

I've seen this shot before! :-) Love the composition. The focus could be a tad sharper and I think with a little selective burning you could make it pop a bit more. Nice capture.

good composition...you use the rule of thirds which is good and i like the border. a crop at the end of the shelves may have been good

the focus is the problem...if it had been in focus it would have been far better

Nice composition, nice separation of subject and background (although a brighter background probably would look better). The biggest problem here is likely the softness of the picture. People on DPC love tack sharp photos. I'm guessing if you were using the sigma at 300 you probably fell victim to the lens a bit. The auto on portrait also may have given you a wide open aperture. That gave the nice blurry background, but also probably cost you some sharpness on the subject. The only other issue is some slight overexposure (not a lot though). Actually, looking at it again, maybe it isn't even overexposed, I might just be getting caught up in the softness.

The image looks just a tad blurry to me.
