Nice composition, but that front of the plate being way out of focus is really bugging me

Nice image, but whacky - not sure about that element. However, I won't knock you down for that

Can't help feel that the composition could have been better. It just feels slightly, well ordinary, as though something really spectacular could have been made of this with the right lighting and composition.

OK better than some of the boards, but hey theres little or nothing to see here. How about a little coloured lighting, blow some smoke over it, freeze it .... just do something to make it 'not another board' shot.

Sorry to be so brutal, but maybe I can insopire you to take that next step.

So literal, so ... well to be brutal... boring
Needs to have a smattering of artistry, something more than a plain old board in bad lighting. Colours, a little smoke, side lighting, there are thousands of ways of livening something up.

I would guess that most voters have gone sailing straight over this one and thought - oh yeah a board - 4, and to be truthful, thats what it deserves.

I know this is a brutal slating of your submission, but at least I stopped to say why I gave it a 4, and maybe you might put a little 'zing' into your next submission.

OK, meets the challenge, but there's not 'artistry' to the image, nothing 'extra', just a plain old chip. Needs to be enhanced with your interpretation. all you have done is show your mastery of the camera in order to capture a representation of an object. Its sharp, its reasonably presented, but its also boring.

Sorry to be so critical.

A tighter crop might have been better on this. I feel there is a lot of wasted dark space.
