Found this quite difficult to find a subject.Tried this tabletop featuring some of the 80's stuff.Lighting was a penlight torch,exposure 121 secs @ f22,ISO 200,WB Tungsten.
Lens Pentax fzoom 28-80 3.5-4.5 focal length 30mm(45mm 35).
PS Rotate,Crop,Levels,Sat,Contrast,Unsharp Mask.THere are some burnouts but it took all night and I thought it worthy of submission anyway and it was great fun.

Welcome to DPC! I see this is your second challenge entry! Doing better than I did in my first two challenges, LOL!
I loved this shot when it came up for the challenge. Inside the cube, what a concept! The lighting, from reading your notes was amazing, I thought it was studio lighting from building. Simply amazing that you got it as balanced as you did. There are a few hot spots but that's to be expected. A little more light on the CD's that are laying on the table might have bumped your score just a bit, the seem a bit darkened compared to the rest. The overall composition seems just a bit off to me for some reason. Maybe if you had cropped it just a touch more on the right side, bringing the rest more into the center possibly?
The colors are great as is the overall set up. I hope my comments help and good luck in future challenges.
Is that a tablecloth? interesting shot, the flash / light flares at the back are a bit off putting and the CDs could do with a bit more light on them. Like it though.
