Wow, looks like two photogs got together and just changed the subject on set. Great lighting and set, but when two people get together and can't come up with two different ideas, lacks the creative bug. Two pics of businessmen holding power tools. Someone should have changed it up. And I just noticed both titles have competition in them...

This is a very interesting photo.

Compositionally, I think it could have been made a touch stronger by cropping it a bit differently. If the lens weren't quite so centered, it might feel more dynamic. For example, had you cropped some off of the right of the picture, that would have put the tripod further left and out of the center. (It would have also eliminated those two little dark spots that might be sensor dust or something). Another benefit would be that the part that is sharpest and in focus would become a more predominant part of the picture.

Technically, the exposure and colors rock. The focus on the glass is good, but the tripod is a bit out/soft and that takes just a tiny bit away from it, I think.

Overall, a good shot, and a good one for this challenge.

Nice warm tone... how many voters have commented on the tilted horizon?

Perhaps a wee touch oversaturated, but I like the colours and composition.

I love the colors (green -- very brave!), but I fear they won't be to everyone's taste.

Like the composition, the blues and yellows are a little off for my taste.
