Hello from the Critique club!
I liked this image a lot, and I gave it a fairly high score. I like the excellent composition, and the great shalow DOF you chose. What I think got you was the very harsh light you used, and the way the light glares off the pipe. To make it better you could have made the lovely designs on the "cup" of the pipe the focal point. IN other words move the back to the front, and do the shalow dof that way.
As for whether this is meeting the challenge? I think so. It could be an advertisement for a pipe, or used for a magazine article on pipe smoking.. etc. so Challenge met :)
Great work!

| I'm not sure about the crop. The tight bottom right crop seems unbalenced with the looser top left crop. And while I know it was intentional, I personally don't like the focus being drawn to the foreground.. I think I would have prefered the foreground be out of focus and the other end of the pipe be in focus. |

| Very, very cool. I love the shallow DOF, the rakish composition, and the vivid colours. The teeny scratches on that pipe stem are neat. 10! |

| An interesting shot but I don't feel that it would attract many people that would actually buy it. There is so much controversy against the smoking industry, and you have captured the end of the pipe that causes all of the related problems......Let's see do I want it on my wall? |

| The teeth marks on the stem of this pipe detract from it. I would try reversing the focus so the bowl is in clear focus and the stem is out of focus. Might not work, but worth a try. Colors are nice and the white background is handled well. |

| you way overdid the brightness/contrast/intensity and I think it would have been fine without overdoing it. |

| why is the depth of field so shallow? it doesn't add anything to this photo. i understand the dreams, blurry thing going on, but stock photography? |

| Very nice and artistic image, but as far as stock photography goes, I think you are getting a little bit too abstract. (7) |
