The best (and scariest) of the dental shots. Great background colors, and simple yet affective choice for main subject.

There sure seem to be a lot of dentists on DPC.

Here is my personal scoring scale with 2 points each. The idea behind is to justify the score I gave. You have all right not to agree with it. This is just my personal opinion with whatever little photography knowledge I have. Hope it helps.

- Meets the challenge - 2 out of 2
- Lighting/Exposure - 1 out of 2
- Composition - 1 out of 2
- Concept and execution - 1 out of 2
- Over all image, WOW factor - 1 out of 2

The bokeh doesn't work so well for me in this one. The drill doesn't take up enough of the frame.

If it is a dentists drill it might have worked well if you had someone in the LHS of the frame slighly out of focus to build the picture.

Evil looking tool. Its a bit OOF especially the drill bit. Background is overbearing.
