Composition - As much as I loved Legos as a kid, I love them now that I have kids. I'm not terribly fond of this shot. I don't like the way this looks photoshopped, even if it isn't. Shooting on mirrors has a tendency to make the background look far away, which is true in this case. They're square all right so it does meet the challenge. I think the colors are great. I wish the reds were more in the forefront though to demonstrate all the colors in the light a little. The crop is in that middle area where I think it should be either a little tighter, or a little further back. Preferably a little further back because I think you could hide the fact that its not perfectly focused a little better.
Photography - The focus issue is huge. I don't get why you needed an 8 second exposure either. I don't know what it adds to this shot. I think the focus issue might stem from this. This is the major problem with this photo above and beyond everything in my opinion.
Processing - Good work with the colors, if you did indeed enhance them. I don't know if the sharpen filter in PS could help this or not, but it would be worth a try.
Overall - I didn't vote on about half the shots the first time around, and this was one of those. I think it would've been more successful if it were crisp. I still don't understand the long exposure time for this shot. It may be something that I might want to know about, so feel free to PM me if there is a good explanation. :) I definitely don't know everything about photography!! Good Luck in future challenges - Bob |

| Great idea and colors, just a bit soft on focus. I can't tell for sure whether they are moving or sitting still. |

Ever step on one of these things, at night, in the dark, barefooted? OUCH.
On a mirror, right? Good clear shot. |

| I really like your idea and composition. I think it would be improved if the background were really white, but overall it's a good shot! |

| Use Unsharp Mask next time. It would really help this. I love the look of it but the lack of sharpness really takes a lot away from it. Still you get a 7. |
