A copper bowl that I used to make into a sink in the guest bath. I love the patina that builds up over time and have only had one visitor who was kind enough to scrub it clean.

I'm not sure what's going on with the background, but I like this shot. It's gritty, I approve.

great idea, i would have liked to see the whole bowl in the shot (IMO)

Lovely picture. Think that it would have looked a little more interesting with a greener blue colour (i.e. copper oxide) to add to the idea of the picture.

A neat looking play of light and shadows. It seemed a little soft to me so I looked at the image properties. Your file size of only 124k indicates a moderately compressed image and that could be robbing some detail and sharpness from this image. You had some more overhead on the file size. Check your compression settings when you save your file. Always adjust JPEG compression so that your file size is as large as possible, but within the challenge limit. (200k for this one)

looks a bit dark, may be my monitor though. the whitish blue at the bottom is quite distracting from the bowl

Very pretty piece, both the bowl and the picture. I like the bluish at the bottom - very complimentary for copper.

very busy image and the light background at the bottom both detract from the visual impact

sun is too harsh on the bowl handle, and your bowl could use a little polish.

The shadow of the bowl covers a lot of what could be an interestingly colored wall. Otherwise I think the wall could have contrasted nicely with the color of the bowl.
