Greetings from the Critique Club :)

Hi Dave...

Technically, this is a very good shot. I don't know what kind of lens you used, but whatever it is worked well. F27 seems a bit drastic :) I believe you were going for strong depth of field, which you achieved.

I believe the 'sharpness' could be a little stronger in this image. Maybe a quick pass with the photoshop sharpen filter?

The color of the light reflecting off the metallic surface is also picking up a yellow glow from your light source. A little desaturation on the yellow/red channels may have brightened this up a little also :)

The image is very strong technically... that is good work for sure. Subjectively, I think it's a little weaker maybe. In the past, I have always strived for technical perfection in my images also. I am in a stage now where I'm trying to integrate technical excellence with subjective 'wow' factor at the same time...

Keep up the good work!

The use of the compass makes this an original image (and it adds color without breaking the balance), the combination of angles is very good.
Good lighting, nice frame.

You are the only one who actually naided it right on. Besides that this is a really good photo. I especially like the color to it.. Great composition with really good execution. Nice border. Because you nailed it with a good photo you get a 10.

Not wild about the composition, but I can't argue that this is definitely a clear, sharp and well taken photo - Inspzil

point well taken-answers the debate in the forums!

Great composition, the thingy-ma-bobby caliper really adds interest and dynamics to this shot.

Lovely and so funny! Thank you for making me laugh!

Wow, I really like the clearity that you achieved with this image. The keys are well defined and the lighting is good. This is a good image.

Nice shot and your border really adds to it. This is a good argument for borders. Nice focus and lighting.

Nice photo. Good composition, color, DOF, and framing. Plus there is no doubt that it is square!! 9 Cub

Neat shot, well done.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and call you Mags. Am I right? Very clean work. Well lit and tack sharp. Why color?

Technically perfect. The things that grab me are the sharpness and the gold reflections on the keypad. Composition is great. Well done.

Great idea. Excellent composition. Why didn't I think of something like this? 9 from me.

I like the "calipers". But I would have shown more of them, putting them more towards the lower right.

GREAT photo. Very well done and nice unique subject. This would be great on a office wall. = 10
