 Going for a sort of stock look. Lighting is room lights, with a halogen behind foam core board. Nice shallow DoF with canon EF 50mm f/1.8 lens. The result is a little bit grainy, but I still like it. :)

I loved it just the way it was. Great color tone, and liked the blur in the background. Nice composition, too. I gave you a 10.

Thanks for those comments. I think that for some %-) reason I didn't think that this was too noisy. Ahh 20/20 hindsight.

Too much noise and the white balance of this image is off. Nice try though :)

A bit out of focus, but you could have put in the rule of thirds challange too.

A little bit grainy and dark for my taste but otherwise decent, I like the composition and DOF. However, it´s a bit flat, wouldn´t a small "s-curve" improve this shot heaps? 5 from me.

There is a lot of noise in the image. Not very appealing. Nice try.

Nothing is really in focus and the grain does nothing for this.

Good layout and the circles work very well together, unfortunately for me it seems too blurry and dull/drab. Theres nothing to create an interest for the viewer. You want people to stop and actually seriously look at your work. Don't get discouraged you show great potential in layout, which many more experienced photographers still struggle with. Good luck
