You know, this is a creative shot and I like it. I think a few people probably considered "silver" not to be black and white. That's an argument I don't want to get into. The composition is very well done. The shadows are intriguing and I like the shapes. Since this was advanced, I may have tried to fix the blemishes on the table, but I tend to like shots very sterile and clean. Others may want that slight context. The border is pretty fat for DPC (people love to chide borders). Here it does work since the shot is so geometric, but I'd be careful of something that fat in the future....

I really wish I'd cleaned them up a bit now! (or at least put some more distinct fingerprints on the salt)

Oh well, you live and learn.... onwards and upwards, as a great man once said.

Going back through the images from this challenge, I found this one to be underrated as far as my voting. I thought the creative use of light and shadows was fantastic with the unique shape of the objects. I can see the voters points though about cleaning things up a bit before shooting. Either way, I think this shot should have scored higher. Keep up the great work!

Very nice abstract. I think I would have cleaned up the containers first.

Interesting objects, and a really creative composition. I just wish the whole thing was a lttle cleaner...no fingerprints, salt scattered about, etc. I think the mess undermines the clean, hard edges of the shadows.
