This comes close to being great for my eye. The haziness works against it.

Tools of the trade of a painter/constrution/DIY home owner! You're early! Lots of texture here!

This certainly would have been a great shot if you managed to give it proper processing. Right now, even the dark shadows are so creamy that you feel like screaming. You have adjusted the tones in to to the point where I am having a hard time trying to understand how you can possibly achieve this. Black is present in a few dots, but the rest is just hazy.
I don't know if it's your monitor that's showing you something different or you have actually chosen to present it this way, but to me it looks really odd. A lot can be done to this image and it can be made so much better. Although I don't know, I feel that calibrating your monitor is the first step.

Unsharp would enhance this image.

Nice idea, but the composition is litte jumbled for my taste. Also the colour is a bit washed out - stronger shadows would help it I think.

Ugh... Crop out that box on the upper-right corner and it'd be great.

perhaps your monitor needs to be calibrated but there is a haze over the image...

A nice idea but the shot is a bit flat, try upping the contrast so that it looses the grey overlay look, it will give the shot more punch. Focus looks good.

i like the composition in this photo, but tere is something wromg with the light i think. 8

This image lacks contrast. Also, I don't know what are those patch of dark noise in the upper right

I can't help but feel that you tried too hard on this one. Too much kinds of texture. Should just stick to one object. 4

Shoot this again for next week...:-)

Wow! That's an awesome composition. Good job. It looks a tiny bit hazy, but it's still a great picture. 10

bit overexposed in top left

could really use a contrast boost.

This has a lot of promise, but the colors turned out very flat. A little bit of time in photoshop and this could be a gem.
