Content-Composition
I have the same toy, great isn't it! Your composition is great here, you have created a good 3D effect and the use of negative space is excellent.The actual content of the picture probably isn't too inspiring for most of the voters, perhaps a more interesting subject would have done better. However, I think that you have done a great job of photographing THIS!
Background
I am a fan of black backgrounds, this really set of the subject and gave power to the overall shot. There is a tiny bit of dust right at the front of the shot, but it isn't too noticeable.
Technical
Basically, this shot is relying on the techniques used as opposed to the content. Your lighting is excellent, with the box lighter at the front and then fading into the background. Focus is good and I like the use of DOF, which fades into the background. You had a comment that it could be crisper, I can see Inspzil's point here, I have suffered with the same problem, not sure whether the lack of crispness has to do with the camera, the black background which exaggerates the lines of the box, or perhaps a slighter deeper DOF would have been better. The box does have jagged edges, bu I think that this is the texture of the box itself not the sharpening.
My Opinion
Even though I have this same camera, I am afraid that the subject doesn't excite me too much, however I think that you have done a great job of photographing it, the lighting is especially strong. Good Luck in the next challenge.
A minor hot highlight for nitpickers to banter about. Otherwise a good solid shot of the chosen subject. Fits the challenge. Clean ,simple ,cool. Your technique is down pat. Deserves a reasonable amount of positive attention from other voters. Good luck.
Composition: Good
Technical: Nice focus. Can't make my mind up about the lighting and subject..
Meets challenge: Yes
Overall impression: Definitely like it, not quite sure why! 7
Interesting take on this shoot. I like how you captured the 3-D image of the box instead of just one side. The picture seems a little blurry to me but that doesn't take away from the total effect of the image. The black backround really makes the box stand out. Good job.
Ahahahaa, you took a pic of your camera's box? I'll admit the shot is actually pretty good but it doesn't have much interest (unless you are another Nikon owner).
