Shaggy looking area. Good challenge photo. I like strong bright light on walkway.

A nice try personally I would have liked to have seen something or somebody perhaps showing some color to make an impact at the bottom end

this is a good photo of a line, but it doesn't lead to a subject of a point of interest... in this photo, the line is the subject rather than being supportive of the subject... - setzler

Hello from the Critique club!

I liked this image a lot, and I gave it a fairly high score. I like the excellent composition, and the great shalow DOF you chose. What I think got you was the very harsh light you used, and the way the light glares off the pipe. To make it better you could have made the lovely designs on the "cup" of the pipe the focal point. IN other words move the back to the front, and do the shalow dof that way.
As for whether this is meeting the challenge? I think so. It could be an advertisement for a pipe, or used for a magazine article on pipe smoking.. etc. so Challenge met :)
Great work!

Comment by wingy:
I'm not sure about the crop. The tight bottom right crop seems unbalenced with the looser top left crop. And while I know it was intentional, I personally don't like the focus being drawn to the foreground.. I think I would have prefered the foreground be out of focus and the other end of the pipe be in focus.

Very, very cool. I love the shallow DOF, the rakish composition, and the vivid colours. The teeny scratches on that pipe stem are neat. 10!
