Isn't this a two hole punch? Well in any case a decent enough shot but not really compelling or anything. Sorry. I sympathize, it was hard trying to get something that had that certain something, for this challenge. I really can't see a whole lot you could do to improve the shot. 6 (BTW my second highest score made for this challenge)

Too much happening here. Your eye is not drawn to any particular subject. Very chaotic. Maybe that was your intent. Aside from that the levels/colour/saturation or something is out of whack. I'm commenting on something I know little about. 5

I like this one alot. It was my favorite. Man that's some super macro action you going on there. Superb DOF. The B & W only adds to it. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that this was probably shot with a Canon EOS-10D. Close? I even think I might know who shot this. Great work.

If you had cropped this in tighter, portrait style (long side up and down), it would have been a much stronger image. Too much yellow and red takes away from your subject. 5

The blue and the silver go very well together. However you can see that the surface is not entirely clean. A more diffused lighting setup would have made the picture much stronger. Also if you had cropped a little differently. Maybe if the ball end of the letter opener was approx. the same distance from the bottom as it is from the side. 6

Congrats on the ribbon. Very deserving. This type of shot takes quite a bit of effort to execute I imagine. I cannot even fathom how you set this up, I have to be honest. Would you please fill us in on the details. I am sure others would love to learn from this as much as myself.

Regards,

Owen

Hats off to you crabappl3. Good job. My alarm clock didn't fare quite so well as yours. Try 44th. Cheers.

I gave it a 6 Bob (I rarely give higher than a 7, and 8 or 9 only if exceptional - never 10, it's perfection after all). I loved the infrared thing you have going on there. You're right, the power lines are distracting. Maybe if you had shot it from further along the river(to the right, looking at the building). Maybe it would have obscured the lines and also shown more of the building. Just a thought.
