I do like very much how the lighting is here. I find though that the actual light itself is distracting. it's just kind of THERE. it intrudes from the right, and covers a portion of the subject.
While this is a photo of something dealing with sound. I'm stuck thinking about the actual buttons rather than 'sound'.
The angle and framing/cropping is good, but wish that the actual light was not in the shot. I feel myself looking at that more than at the buttons themselves.
The focus and clarity are really great. I think that you did a great job getting the detail and crispness of the lettering around the buttons. That is really important to even recognize this as something dealing with sound.
While I don't SEE the sound, I do definately think about it. I like how the subject fills the entire frame of the photo.
Good find.

Maybe use a little more Unsharp Mask on this. I don't know if I like the border for a magazine cover. Nice contrast between the light wall on the outside and the inner part.

Great shot.....but what happens at the top, with the frame, is a bit uncomfortable....awkward somehow.....9

Beautiful shot, and the cropping you chose makes it interesting. My eyes are pulled right off the page, makeing me feel like there is something bigger than what you have captured in your frame. I really like it.

Interesting subject. You have captured the detials very well. Very usable as a 'cover'

I like this... looks very professional. Nicely done with the area at the top for text. I could definitely see this as the front of a magazine. Good luck.

Interesting use of DoF, but you cut off the bottom of the button.

What a GREAT photo! The frame distracts and dismays me. It feels like a fad that won't be flattering to the image when viewed in the future.
