I think this is an excellent stock photo that would have a lot of applications. The only problem I see is the yellow background. Most stock photography of this nature that I see uses blue or neutral backgrounds because they are less likely to clash with the colour scheme of the other material the photo will be used to support. Yellow seems like a risk to me.
Nice macro, and I like the complimentary background. I think it would have been better if the cord trailed out of the upper right corner, as it seems to reverse my line of sight, and for no reason. 7
I love the yellow background, the use of DOF is great here, with the plug fading into the background. Perhaps DOF is a tiny bit shallow, the front of the plug could do with a bit more sharpness IMO, but excellent shot!
Good detail captured here. Really nice macro shot. I could see this being purchased to be used in an IT article of some sort. I like the shallow DOF you used to make this feel almost as if the plug is coming out of the frame at you. Good luck!
Now this is something i could see in a stock catalogue unlike a lot of the other pics in this challenge. You may have been able to adjust some lighting to help the end stand out a little more but the rest is great as is. 7
This is an excellent macro shot of a telephone plug...just like might be used in an annual report, a magazine, a textbook, etc. Very wide possibilities for use as "stock" photography. I like the yellow background, the selective focus, the sharpness where it should be sharp and the leadin line drawing the eye to the subject. Very nice work!
The dof on this shot makes it look like a sea monster or something (which is what they seem like sometimes). Great work, and the yellow background is especially interesting.
