Not extremely original, but the focus and exposure are good. It appears this may have been taken through a pane of glass. A bit of a bump up on the contrast would improve the shadows in my opinion. *5* -balynch

Bullseye!

This is a very interesting demonstration of texture. I find the nicks in the metal rods draw my eyes around the photograph. The focus is spot on from the center to the right of the photograph, but just a little soft on the left side. The exposure is good, however the lighting is a bit harsh. If your camera has a provision for an external flash, using one bounced off a ceiling or other large white object can help eliminate shadows. If you have a camera that only has a built-in flash, you can try putting a few layers of tissue or a hankercheif over the flash to diffuse the light a bit. *7* -balynch

I think this would have worked better with the focus on the foreground object. *5* --balynch
