Comment by AVP:
great lighting and use of colors, but the subject is a bit mundane and obvious, technically well done

LoL. Love the title. It really makes the shot. Not that it's bad on it's own. I like this a lot. Placement, lighting, concept...all great. I hope you are doing well in this challenge.

I can see a shot like this being used in something like an annual report on what this company does. (What DO they do?)

Looks a little draganized, but its hard to tell the difference. Should be a bit darker, more grungy... 5/10 Could be better. Good job, love the wood textures and colors!!!

No real focus here and it's overprocessed. The point of this kind of shot is to show the interior, not to make it artsy. If it had water puddles, broken walls and such, then you can process it to your hearts content.

I don't think you had a bad idea, at least i admire a close-up like this, i think it's a nice abstract.
I just think that the white levels are too harsh, what even makes the object almost unidentified. Again, i think you had a nice idea with the abstract but you crop doesn't justify for me too, i don't think the white spaces are well organized, too much at the left and a little one at the top right. I think some nice and bright colors at the silver part would be nice.
Just trying to help, because you asked on a thread. I hope i wasn't rude, i'm not experient but i try to help!

PS: I saw the pp you did on a portrait at your portfolio (making the lady look younger). Woa! It's really great!
