Greetings from the critique club!

As mentioned below, and with a lot of shots in this challenge, this is pretty much a generic product shot. That's not a terrible thing but it appears that those who went beyond that did better.

Beyond that the yellow works given the subject matter. I'm not normally a fan of borders but it works here.

A lot of people took their camera strap off for the shot. Not sure if it would have been beneficial here or not but something worth mentioning.

For the composition I would have considered turning the camera a bit more and getting more of an oblique.

I am guessing that this was shot handheld. If it wasn't, I would have considered shooting at a lower ISO.

Overall: Technically sound. With this challenge people were looking for that extra something. So not bad. Just not great I guess.

This is nicely lit but it really doesn't do much more than one would normally do for a catalogue photo

The lighting is pretty good but the image looks a little flat to me. The composition is a little boring. It's just a photo of a camera, it does nothing to affect me emotionally.

An OK shot, but incredibly boring...

to be honest this seems like a last minute entry...
