since you're wondering why you got some low scores... I would rate this image a 4. here's why:

The image is technically fine but obviously shot at the wrong color temp.. ty-raps are white and are showing orange on your shot.

Compositionally, the image is very busy with not directional dynamics there are no clear points of interest.

lastly there is no perspective and this create an absolute flatness which is obviously not the case as the materials are stacked.

Hey Kevin ... you are definitely bumping up as the challenges go. I really like the colors and the feel of this photo, but as a few have mentioned below, it is a little cluttered. Just very busy, a lot to look at all at once. I like the gritty feel of what you have, that it's been used, and you didn't go out and buy new stuff just for this photo. I gave you a 6. Don't worry about those low numbers that people voted, because even the ribbon winners get some 1s or 2s. :)

Nice color. A little crowded but still effective.

7 - Met the Challenge (just - I see only the gloves and electricity cord as clear 'tools' (although admittedly I have no idea what those black 'switches' are & jury is out on the cable ties (semantics)), the others are material in my opinion). I like this concept and that you have taken advantage of the bright colors used in this field/trade. Criticism; For me this would be a better photograph if there was more sharpness on the colored objects and I am not sure if the lighting is indoor, but seems a touch 'yellow'. The composition is good and aside from a different angle (mainly closer) there might not be much more you can do to make the subject more 'unique'.

I really like the gloves in this one, but I also feel that it could have occupied a bit more of the frame, putting more emphasis on them. I do understand your concept, but. the gloves are the element in this frame with most interest. The yellow wires on the right is pretty exciting too, but you could have shown a bit less of what on the bottim right. In short, I would have prefered a different composition, but i still find this image very strong in the challenge.

Very nice collection of electrition stuff. Good composition. It just seems like it could use a bump in lighting/contrast to help the colors pop out a little better. Also, there is a slight yellow hue that could be removed. You can tell from the white twisties and cable.
