Composition - Very cool abstract of a lamp. The symmetry of it works well for this photo. Its very yellow so it meets the challenge. The background has awesome color. Very well done. I don't think I'd change a thing.

Technical - Great DOF of this shot and perfect exposure. The subject is very clear and sharp. This is extremely well done. I'm guessing you set the white balance to fluorescent as I've done the same thing and gotten blue backgrounds out of what was once brown. Very nice idea with this shot.

Overall - I am surprised this didn't finish any higher than it did. It is a remarkable example of making a nice photo with simple things around the house. Nice job!! Good luck in the upcoming challenges. - Inspzil

This is the photo I've been looking for. It says everything, but shows little. It gives me the sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. Very well done - 10

On the edge of Despair!

Not a bad idea, but the sky in this picture is way too white. The f-number looks like it could've been a little higher to help with the sky thing and make the DOF greater so the subject was better in focus. THe rocks are well represented with good focus, color, and a good perspective.

This is a good concept. The photo could be a little sharper. If it were it would bump you up a point or 2. LIke the lighting and DOF. Great job with those.

If this photo was at all clear, it would merit a good score from me. I like the idea

A little clearer and this would've done better. Also looks like its tilted quite a bit to the left. Good idea though

This is really stretching a title to make something fit. Looks like railroad spikes to me. Sorry, try again next week.
