Trying to leave some more in depth comments on random photos, so here goes...
The first thing I noticed about this shot was the star shape reflections at the corners of the laser lights. I like how they seem to get bigger as they go up. I also like the slight blue cast of the second light coming from the top. Suggestions for improvement? Maybe light the back edges a bit more or crop in tighter? Nicely done!
If you hadn't put staples in your title, I would have thought this was part of an escalator. Great lighting and definitely one of my favorites in this challenge.
Creative. Strong composition. Good color saturation. A bit dark on my calibrated monitor. I am sure you would disagree or you wouldn't have entered the photo in this challenge, but IMO DNMC.
nice job at creativity. the laser pen creates a nice line for the eye to follow--initially I thought i was looking at metal stairs. nice job at presenting a unique look at the subject.
