I gave this a 6 when I voted, but did notice a few things. One, the highlight is saturated and appears to have suffered for it with some pixelation. Two, the lime doesn't look good in either the blue light or your PP color shift. I wonder if you could have lit it with a small penlight or something to give it some more natural color. Technicals are good, but a personal rule of mine is that anything with writing on it needs to be either sharply in focus or completely out of focus. Partially focused letters are a no-no. The eye hates that. If you shot on a tripod, I would have gone with more than f1.8.

Thanks Cindi. I was aware of that before I submitted, but I didn't find it particularly displeasing. I suspect you are right though, that is mainly what held it back. I guess that's what I get for starting to shoot at 10:30 on Sunday night...

I really like this shot. The composition is very nice and the shot is VERY ad-like. I think the only thing that held it back was the hotspot under the glass. I understand that it is the light source, but it distracts from the rest of the composition.
