The keys are clear, but the lemon is out of focus. Reshoot and tone down the magenta.

Colorful, but from an unusual angle. With so many things in the photo plus the angle, I don't know what you are trying to show

I'm simply shocked that this didn't score higher. One of my top10.

Great pic.

I think the composition could be stronger, but I really like the shiny copper on copper color scheme. Nice.

(Thanks, Skip!) I appreciate those comments that "got" what I was trying to do with this! One FAVORITE, even!! Thank you!!!

(As for the "poor lighting and focus" comment -- sometimes these lighting and focus efffects are, duh, intentional. Try... whoa... scribbling outside the box once in a while! Hey! It's fun!! Wow!!! Effects! Freedoom!! Creative Expression!!!)

But, that's okay. Man. I'm here to LEARN too, and we're ALL on a learning curve, right? I just think the newbies ought to learn a little more before presuming to be so critical. I'm not really so concerened with scores, though, as much as trying out different ideas. So... whatever. But I try not to criticize others' efforts at creativity. If'n I don't "like" an entry, I choose not to score it or to comment. Easy. Peace and Love! (And... yes, "Pisces Rising is a very good sign.") HAVE FUN!!!

Neat concept! I feel the composition could be a tad more interesting.

The contrast between the textures of the pennies and the filings make this a well captured photograph. The values on the pennies also contributes to the quality of the photograph.
