Greetings from the Critique Club };-)

Initial thoughts
Interesting take and certainly meets the challenge, surprised this didn't score a bit higher.

Composition/ Content
I am a big fan of Black and White but wonder if this wouldn't have scored better with a sepia or even light color. Quite ingenious in my mind to form the word "square". Good use of the panorama shot and the word isn't dead center which I think adds to the shot.

Background
None really to speak of.

Camera Work - Technical
Focus seems good but maybe not really sharp.

Digital Processing - Technical
Good cropping on the word. Once again, I think I would really like to see what this looks like in Sepia.

Fits The Challenge
Definitely fits the challenge well.

My Opinion On The Photo
I originally scored this shot a six. It amazes me how evenly spread your votes were. From top to bottom it is almost perfectly even. I think you had a really good idea but it did't have quite enough "wow" factor to really score high. Good job and keep up the good work!


I would be happy to talk further about this shot if you would like to contact me.

Nice idea!! Photo is pretty flat without much WOW factor, but I gotta admit it was a hell of an idea. I never woulda thunk it. Good luck - Inspzil

I love the way you made the keys say square. The shadows in this picture give the keys deminsion.

Didn't see it at first; thought it might be another boring keyboard shot. I hope people took time to examine it closely. Very clever. Jacko 8

Nice idea. I really like the black and white coloring that adds a little bit more to the photograph and makes it look sort of classy. Good job.

OK, how did you do this? Surely you didn't remove the keys and reset them on the keyboard! I was a little surprised that there wasn't a Admin note on this one. Good job, I hope everyone notices the word in the middle!

That's an aweful lot of work for this photo. And your focus and lighting are still good. Did pretty good at not getting shadows. Of course the cropping is perfect. I've seen a lot using letters, computer keys, etc. but this is one of a kind. You deserve a good score just for the uniqueness. I'll gladly give it a 7
