My wife always wants to get rid of my old SLR. Even though it doesn't work, I am too reluctant to throw it away.

Greetings from the critique club :)

I didn´t vote in this challenge but would probably have given this a 5 or a 6 depending on how I thought it would stack up to the rest of the photo in the challenge. It seems to me to have placed a bit lower than I would have though and I can´t really figure out why. I mean it´s a nice shot tecnically, lighting is totally ok and focus, sharpness and clarity are also good. Perhaps it´s the high key feel to the image/white backround that lowered the votes since most people think of nightmare as something dark and scary and wanted that instead of an advertisement look? Who knows, that is not bothering me but I am just speculating why this didn´t score too well.

Also it kindof lacks wow facor, I mean there is no dynamic in the shot. Maybe if you had taken it so the hand with the hammer had some motion blur, like it was just about to smash the lens or even better, had you just gone all the way and actually smashed it to bits, you would definately had gotten a better score.

Kind regards from Iceland, Lárus.

Your nightmare is that you will smash your own lens? You're not alone: I hate when I do that!

This one is a little TOO close to home for me...having my DSLR and lenses break is a real nightmare for me. A big wave took my camera out about 2 weeks ago.

I like the shot - the angle and shallow DOF work well, but the lighting and focus on the lens in front could use a little improvement. good effort
