The soft harmonous glow of the luminescent light filters out among the curves and edges of paperclips produced shadows that stretched the arms of the molded metal and printed a dance of light, embossed on the fine paper to which I cast my visual eye and subjected my lense to its beauty.

Composition: The composition of the photograph is very interesting, if I squint my eyes I can almost make out letters in the shadows of the paper clips. I have read some of your previous comments and have to agree that a diagonal composition would have strengthened the photo. Also by cropping out the dark corners you would have led the viewers eye more clearly to the subject.
Colors:You soft muted colors are very pleasing to the eye, much like a late afternoon shot would.
Lighting:The direction of your lightening lead to the great shadows, and prevents this from being a flat photograph. I like the interplay of light with the paper clips, very interesting
Overall: Overall this is a nice picture but not overly interesting. It does not hold my interest for too long. A tighter crop would help by removing too much empty space. Good luck in subsequent challenges.
Interesting. Nice creative concept. I like the dramatic shadows. I'm thinking though that maybe applying the rule of thirds or placing on a diagonal line would make for a stronger composition?
Interesting composition! Unfortunately the image is a bit noisy and lacking in sharpness. I like the angle of the lighting, it's interesting, but I'd prefer if the image were a little bit brighter.
The subject is interesting, but the photo isn't crisp enough for me. The black in the corners (round table?) is distracting too. I like the shadows of the paperclips, but this definitely needs better cropping. Lighting is kinda odd too, but to create the shadows I can sort of understand how the bottom left hand corner could get overexposed. Anyway, it meets the challenge and it's a good try so I'm going with a 5.
