This is a decent product style photo. The color of the phone sorta begs for a darker colored background to create some more contrast and make your subject stand out with some more strength.
When I first saw this in the thumbnail shots I thought for sure it was a reversed image or a mirrored image but now that I can see it closer I see it's a hand held computer! YIKES, my big ole' fingers would never make it on that keyboard, LOL!
I love this shot overall, the cropping, the angle, it takes you from one side to the other while taking you from bottom to top or reverse. The background is a bit off to me, I'm not sure what I would suggest, maybe more white or even black against the silver to really make it pop out? I'm starting with a 9, will be back to look some more.
Good Points:clear and sharp 100% spot on focusing
Bad Points:too many caustics, and not could be composed better. an interesting phone that would have benefitted from a closer shoot. also not really a secret ;)
Score:6
Well taken picture, good lighting, effective backgound, fits the challenge. The choice of subject doesn't do much for me personally though. It just looks like you're showing off your new gadget! 8
