I liked it but looks a bit dark.

Taht's a great concept! Acctually I had something simillar in mid but didn't do so. I like the structure of the bodies and how the light and shadow play on them (for instance the shadow of the cube on the sphere. What I do not like so much is the shadow of the cone in the back: it's not well defined, not sharp and hence should have been avoided. Also the open space on the right is not necessary IMO: a quadratic cropping might have been OK too.
Anyway, your submission fits very well to the challenge and for me it's an 8

Too dim for my taste.

+Composition is interesting. Great subject matter. I like the horizontal line going across the shot. Contrast is decent.
-Lighting on the cube is great. I wished that the ball and the cone were as well lit. The shadow off the cone on the wall is a bit distracting.
Score 9

I like he softness of your shot and the subtlety of the shadows and tint. Good shot!

Good idea. Good composition. I'm wondering if it would be even better if a second light on the left of the camera maybe a quarter the strength of the main light or maybe just a reflector to clear up a little bit the darkest area.

A very nice idea for simplicity (would have been GREAT for shapes too) I like the texture and sparkle of the styrofoam as it contracts to the background. Your lighting could be much better. Illuminating each figure equally and from more than one side - a white board to bounce the light back from the left would do well.

Technical: Most all images submitted fit the challenge. This one does on several levels. Exposure composition focus lighting all very good.

Personal: I love this! Reminds me of the basics of photography- so many ways to shoot such simple things.

My vote: 8

Black and white would have more impact than the gray and gray you've got here. Bump up the contrast, and maybe try for a less static composition and POV. You were on a good track here, but could have pushed it a little to greater effect, IMO.
