| Very clever!!! I want to have an idea; finish it in 20 minutes; and THEN make top 10. Obviously, you work best under pressure. Many kudos to you!!! |

Thanks for all the comments. They are very much appreciated.
I am truly amazed that this entry did as well as it did. I came up with the idea at the last minute and my wife was rushing me out the door because we had a dinner date. I only had a short time to setup the shot, take a few shots, edit quickly in Photoshop, and get the image uploaded. The total time from idea to upload was literally only about 20 minutes. I knew there were problems with the focus, and I over-edited the image as well, but my wife would not let me spend more time on it. It’s all her fault! (Boy, it’s nice to have someone to blame for your mistakes, eh?) Anyway, I’m lucky it did well.
Perhaps it’s not a coincidence that I was also rushed to get my entry in for the Textures II challenge. I’m afraid it’s not doing as well as this one did. Oh well, there’s always another challenge.

Hello Michael! Congrats on your top 10 placing, on only your third entry.
Positives:
I really like the composition with the model paint bottle in the top left, running down and forming the word "Black". The focus on the bottle and initial spill area is good as well.
Possible Improvements:
I'm going to say the shallow DOF detracts a bit. Personally, I like the way it is, but I think I agree with the other comments that it may be even better if it was entirely in focus. As someone mentioned below, the right side of the cap is blown out and blends into the white background.
Overall a unique take on the challenge that was done very well.

| What an awsome shot!!! It made me do a double-take. I say anything that makes you look twice is worth looking at. |

Original idea. I like the abstract quality to the picture and also the starkness.
haha, I like the black part. Pretty tricky! |

| I like the idea. I think you turned the contrast up a little too much, the white bottle cap blends into the background which I don't like. Having a bigger depth of field so that the bottom of the letters was in focus would also help. But overall, a great job, it stands out from the rest of the entries |

| Well imagined. Loses a bit through the variable saturation and lack of focus in the word but otherwise very good |

| i can explain the container malfunction... look at the cap- "made in the U.S.A." that should've been a warning sign :) |
