Beautiful colors. Very nice selection of batteries. The camera looks lovely in the blueish light. The reflected light off the background is just right to define the perimeter of the lens body. The glare off the batteries is a little unfortunate as it obscures the subject of the photo. Another light source below and to the right would have helped with the shadows as well. A smaller aperture and more depth of field would not hurt.

AC DC

The blue background works well as contrast for all of the colors on the edges of the main objects except for the blue on the battery label. The lighting produces glare and dark shadow. The narrow depth of field obscures the near AC terminal and the plus sign on the battery, both part of the story being told. The composition holds very little appeal for me. A 3.

It is always inspiring to life finding a new expression of itself. Nice colors, nice lighting and nice shadow of plant.

rust & wood

Kind of like the picture of misdriven nails. I like the lighting and the wood in this. Also the dark space in the lower right corner provides good balance.

I don't find this subject to my taste, and the lighting also seems harsh.

Cairn of entropy

Very nice greens in both rock and shell. I almost see them in the rust itself. Very nice relaxed mood to this piece with a good balance in all areas of light and dark, and focus and diffusion. I would like it somewhat better I suspect if a little picture were available below the shell.
