Wow. Finally a computer chip shot that is beautifull to the eye ... too many bad pictures of mother boards out there. Love the composotioin (placement and use of negative space) and the shallow depth of field (in back). Would really liike to see more DOF in front though. Nonetheless, the best computer chip picture yet on DPC. Good luck. 9

This subject is too long for this type of macro. A better angle and I think you might've been able to capture it properly. The background is good, but it looks like the part of the pic in the best focus is the bottom right corner of the background above the blurry stuff of course - Inspzil

COMPOSITION
The compositiof of this is very strong. The sign is located in such a way as to anchor that side of the frame, and provide a nice resting place for the eyes. The subject matter is also a good choice, as it, along with your title, adds a nice humorous effect, I think.

TECHNIQUE
I think if the sign, which is the subject of the picture, were more in focus, adn the cows were less, it would be more effective. Since it was a signs challenge, that was the first thing people would look at. Since it was just slightly out of focus, people may not have studied the rest of the shot enough to see that the cows, etc. are focused very well. the limbs in front of the sign do seem a bit distracting, but after reading your comment, I can understand why you left them. One way to have gotten that across was through the title, or if you could have found some more limbs to drape across it, it may have been more obvious.

OVERALL EFFECT
Overall, I like the application of humor and the fact that it was a sign, so it fit the challenge, but it was also interesting, because there was a story there, not just a sign. Good work, and good luck in the future challenges.

I don't know what this is. I gather it's electronic in nature. But I do feel all of it should have been in focus with only the background out of focus. I do like the tone of the photo. Not a bad photo, just need better execution.

I think would be excellent if the foreground pins were in focus. I'm thinking perhaps you made it that way so we don't look at the sheet, but consequently the focus on the cpu is diminshed.

What is this a picture of ?? It is very nice. The representation of the square really stands out. The blanket behind it also adds a very nice touch that lets it stand out. Good job.

I think by having this picture done without real color made this image much more creative. Try to move in just a little closer to the picture to make a little more intrest. Nice Work

Good macro. Meet the challenge. I like the background depth which amkes the chip outstanding. Good luck
