Thanks for the comments and critiques. After viewing this shot on monitors other than mine I've decided that my next purchase is a new monitor. Thank you SJ for the vote of confidence!
Simple and very well executed. Love the colors and the white background works very well. The white in the rope may be a little blown out, but it's hard to take off many points for anything in this shot. Reallly well done. 9 Bumping to 10. Congrats on a great image!
Nice composition in how it leads your eyes across the image. The bold colors are graphically pleasing, but there seems to be a tad too much contrast. The subject seems a little blown out on the edges of the subject. Good work.
Relevance to Challenge (2): 2
Color/Lighting/Contrast (2): 1.5-Might look better if the blue in the cord was boosted a bit.
Sharpness/Quality (2): 1.5
Composition (2): 1-might look better wtih the loop away from the center.
Creativity/Originality (2): 1.5
Score (10): 7
Great idea and great shot1 I think would have been executed a bit better to have the circle more on the left or right of dead center and let the rope balance the composition out on the other hemisphere. The shadow is a bit distracting, but I'm sure it will look great afetr some more editing! - 7 - JeB
