I just wanted to thank my husband for the use of his uniform and his help with setting things up.

Great arrangement. If you have access to photoshop, this would be improved greatly by applying an "S" curve to the Curves adjustment and is legal in Basic Editing.

A little under exposed for my taste but I like the concept and DOF.

Composition is well done. Like the part of the hat which is showing. However, focus is too soft, and there is much to low contrast. Technical aspects need some work, but you are on the right track.

The collection is great the hat and gloves look grey perhaps under exposed.

very well composed and set up. unfortunately, the rather flat lighting on this brings the score down.

This meets the challenge - inanimate and arranged.

More depth of field with the gloves in focus too would have been better. The gloves are distracting right now without adding to the image.

I like the arrangement. What could improve this image is making the whites whiter (maybe just an auto level adj) and sharpening this more to pull more detail in the hat and sword.

Nice image. Great idea. :)

Needs more DOF to make the glove in focus. Is this your gear? If so, please accept my gratitude for your service!
Yours

foreground could use more focus, like the story you are conveying here.keep at it.

I really like this shot. Seems just a bit dark though.

Looks a tad underexposed. Also, this may be better at a slightly higher camera angle. Great subject for still life.
