I like this idea a lot; but I think the lighting and composition sort of weaken it...maybe closer with a little more light; feel free to ignore my idea if this was what you wanted in the image.

There is something about this picture that makes me think it's computer generated, don't know why though..

Hmmm .. a bit undecided why I'm attracted to it without really liking it. I think the effect looks a bit too much like it's been \"created\" on purpose.

This could have been even better as a higher contrast black and white.

which item is this subject, chair, hub cap, grill, door. Pick one next time and work to enhance the subject. Just my thoughts

But I hope there's richness of spirit -- as is sometimes the case with people who don't have the pretentiousness of too much "stuf". Nice emotive image!

Very real. The shadows at the top are a bit distracting, but I like the layout.
