I find this to be a nice idea. Some of the topic 'police' people may hit it because they will think the main subject is the record, and not wood, but for me, I think it is a creative refreshing approach to the challenge. I find it has good interest factor to me. Compositionally, something seems to be lacking a little to me. I'm not saying this is bad at all, it is not, but something inside me is really saying that there is potential here for a much stronger presentation. Maybe because I do find it as a subject fresh and interesting. I wish I had a suggestion, but nothing immediate comes to mind that I can put my finger on, perhaps just a different perspective/angle.
Interesting find. I like the environment (background) you have used, it feels like the record player belongs in that room. A little more light towards the front of the record player cabinet would be nice.
Love this photo. Love that the record is broken. I actually wish the record featured more in the photo, but understand that the focal point is the wood, not the record. Love the colors.
One of the criteria for this challenge is "Creativity is the Key" so my scoring will be based on this. Very interesting image. Love the subtle use of color. The composition is strange but not distractingly so (I'm not sure why this image was made). The focus is dead on and the lighting is excellent. I'm repeatedly drawn to the arm, maybe that's where the horn was? of the record player - its smoothness and tone pulls my eye. Well done! 8 - good luck in the challenge!
