One of my ribbon picks for this challenge... creative still life with dimension and good eye for arrangement of elements. I, too, was surprised you finished back in the pack.
Great tones and balance between objects. Very clean. Abstract in a way - not in the manner that you can't recognize the objects, but that the objects are perfectly placed and minimal. Interesting that you have pairs on the left. I dig it!
Interesting composition in kind of an abstract way. I like the lines of the big circle with the box around it in the upper right, as well as the empty space around it. The smaller items on the left are less interesting, but do serve to balance off the composition.
Let's see...glasses, keys, negatives, pencils, and a bowl(?)...Seeing clearly will unlock your mind and draw it full of the negatives? (I like the shot, btw.)
