I thought this was really cool. Nice angle and cool use of dof. Really made an interesting shot out of a very ordinary object. Might've benefited from better white balance, but I really like how it goes from being an ordinary, recognizable object to a wash of color. Nice work.
Nice effect with shallow DOF, although I think it's slightly too much - a little more definition in the blue body would be better. I also think all of the silver part should be sharp. But this is a good idea and a good shot which could be imporved upon a little, IMHO.
Incredible use of dof here, the blue blur looks almost painted. Great use of texture. Very effective background. I guess I just don't find the subject that inspiring though. 9
Very cool lighter picture. I like how you were able to make the bottom part of the lighter seem to go forever. The lighting helps to give some beautiful shadows to the lighter. Beautiful shot.
Great shot, really nice DOF, the back part of the lighter is as blurred as it gets. Only thing I would like to see on this shot is the dark part in the top left corner whiter (not that big of a flaw if you ask me) 8
