Greetings from the Critique Club
Congratulations on getting through your first Challenge. It's all downhill from here.
You met the Challenge nicely with these elongated shapes but, as was pointed out by your commentors, the focus is quite soft. It is important to have something - preferably the foreground - good and sharp to give the viewer a frame of reference. I would suggest that 1/60th of a second is at the edge of being able to handhold your camera.
But, in any event, an aperture of, say 5.6, would have given you some depth of field (and according to your settings, would have slowed down your shutter speed even more). Your chimes may well have been in a dark corner of your friend's house. That's usually what the ISO800 and higher is reserved for: dark corners and stop action.
Am I making any sense to you? I hope so.
Keep playing with that very good camera of yours, learn it's quirks and foibles, and you're going to do very well at DPChallenge. I think you've got a good eye.
Welcome aboard. |

| Not a bad idea overall. For me personally, I would have preferred the chimes in the front be in focus. |

Nice angle and interesting interpretation of the challenge. Unfortunately, most of the image is out of focus. Try shooting with a smaller aperture (f16 or f22) to get a greater depth of field to get more of the object in focus.

| I like the composition and the original idea. I think I would have like it better if the depth of field wasn't so shallow. |

| Those circles (ovals at this angle, to be precise, but whatever ;) at the bottom just jump right out at me. Good job. I like your focus decision here, with the shallow depth of field. |

| I like the shallow depth of field, but the bottoms of the chimes really need to be tack sharp for this to work and they are not. I am also bothered by the yellow cast. |

| A little more DoF would have done? |
