The chrome almost looks golden instead of the usual silver, but I like it. Both the metal and the background has good textures with complimentary tones. The shapes are also interesting in an abstract way too. Good shot.

The hammer shatters glass but forges steel (Russian saying)

The main problem I have with this is that you are showing action without the action. It doesnt look like a natural position to find these items in, they look deliberately staged and so loses the impact of the 'shatter'. Understandable you didnt really want a hand in the shot, but had you held the hammer at a diagonal off into one of the corners it would have helped give the impression of being 'in action'.

Inside a Filter

Comment:
Interesting abstract idea. The image looks a little blurry, especially the farther out of the image you look, I dont know if the filter was in use when you took the shot and that is the result of vibration/motion. The greyscale is also a little flat. Playing around with the brightness/contrast can add a little more depth to the tonal range of the black and white.

The idea, and title, is good. The image is a little small and the focus on the items is slightly blurry. Tthe light from the upper left is a little too strong and has caused some hot spots, which also makes the darker fringe on the right more noticable.

The tone is good and helps give the image a great aged feel. My eyes seem to be missing the edge of the truck, though, as I'm leaning towards looking at that rather than the tree and pillar.

Wrapped Up

The tone is good, it's just dark enough to show the details and textures of the rope. I'm wondering if this was shot a little too close to the background material as the background seems to have some texture too, or it could be the wisps from the rope. Almost looks like a noose!

Lemonade
by GolferDDS

Comment:
I'm assuming the connection here is lemon and sugar. This certainly has creativity and it's different so I like it for that. The composition is good and I like the diagonal of the 'straw' into the lemon. I dont know if you tried a border then cropped it out or what, but there is a small thin black line at the very top of the image that seems to stand out and look a little odd. The image also looks underexposed and could have used a levels adjustment to increase the brightness.

Yay Nikon! The composition looks well thought out and all the individual pieces compliments each other well. The yellow cast seems to add to the ageness of the shot and also goes with the tones of red and brown in the background. The only negative is the hot spots on the film cannisters. Overal it's a good capture.

I love the color and seeming glow to the chess pieces. Unfortunately I dont really care for the background. Having it shot in landscape mode gives it a lot of negative space on either side, and I'm not sure if that was your plan as it does look like clouds that certainly give a sense of expanse. As the chess pieces are vertical, especially enlongated with the shadow, I think a portrait orientation may have been better. I really do like the color/tone/lighting on the chess pieces, though!

Reading Glasses

Comment:
The first thing I notice is that the crease isnt directly in the middle and so that gives a somewhat unbalanced feel. I can see you used the light off to the top right to get the shadow, but that has caused the lower left to be quite dark. The sharpness is good, and the idea works well and certainly meets the challenge. A suggested recomposition would be to move the light to the top of the book, balance up the crease, and place the glasses over both pages and have the shadow falling toward the bottom.
