Composition: You have used an extreme close up of the phone but it works well. It's fairly obvious that it is a phone and the reflection is wonderful. The background on the right side is a little distracting because it's not obvious what it is - although making it so blurred prevents it from distracting the viewer.

Technical Quality: The photo is very good from a technical stand point. Good exposure, lovely colour (very appropriate to the challenge)

Creativity: I love the subject matter - the phone is so significant in the movie and adding a character was a wonderful idea. I'm guessing it's an image from a poster or DVD cover or something similar - great idea.

Meeting the Challenge: You have easily met the challenge - the subject, title and coloring of the photo are spot on.

Overall: For only your second contribution you have done a wonderful job - well done. I look forward to your future work since this entry is so good.

too much backlight, too dark in front

There is no spoon!

Nice tie-in to the movie and the white background reminds me of all the times they enter the program without a background (like when selecting guns). The reflection in the spoon is a little distracting since the spoon was seen indoors and the reflection looks like trees and a fence. Great work though.

The photo, whilst being quite nice, doesn't really tie in to the movie. I would have liked to see a more easily associated image, rather than trying to make an image fit the challenge.

It’s Chinese to me!

Unfortunately there is very little photographic skill to comment on. I understand the title but the photo is boring and does not provoke interest.

That's really interesting. Is it some kind of sea creature?

Wow - I love the focus effect you achieved. I'm guessing the train you were on is moving with a long exposure. I love the result.

You think that's air you're breathing now?

That's a wonderful idea for the shot - and it ties in so well with the line from the Matrix. Great idea and lovely execution.

I don't understand the reference to the Matrix challenge.

I'm guessing this is a focus-pull type shot of a matrix screen saver. It's quite an interesting shot and very well executed (assuming no rules were broken).
