The reflections in the metal distract from the image. Perhaps a large softbox/bounceboard would remedy this issue.

Meat pulverizer... I like the lighting I can't seem to put my finger on it, but the image just isn't popping for me for some reason.

This image really works for me, the wight accents add a unique flavor to the image.

Yarn. I would like to see a bit more detail in the threads, but i understand this must be terribly difficult to shoot.

There's an inconsistancy: The subject pulls my eye to the section where the dough/stuff is pulling apart, but the DOF trying to pull my eye to the upper right hand corner. and the lighting seems to yank my eye to the bottom right. It seems to me that if you get all these elements to work together, then they'll combine forces and make this image awesome. IMHO

For some reason, i feel like i've seen this image somewhere before. Is this similar to a previous image/challenge? In any-case, nice execution.

In the brass

It seems the DOF is shallow for no apparent reason. The DOF draws my eye to the circular area on the right but once my eyes land there, there's nothing very cool to see (relatively speaking). For this image i think a nice wide DOF would work nicely so that we can see the detail in the entire frame and perhaps to add some dynamics, add a lens vignette. my 2 cents

The image does have technical merit but, to be honest, the subject isn't very interesting to me.

Guess who's inside? :>

It seems these shots work well when you can see a secondary subject in the water droplets. I don't recognize anything in the BG to make the effect pop.
