Thought of shooting this myself but changed my mind last minute, the only thing i can see that is letting you down here is the fact that there is no real focal point for me... I am looking at both the Brown and Orange bits. perhaps an even closer shot of the main board itself and the PCI slots getting a little blurry in the background ?
There is a lot of 'depth' and detail available on a board like this. It requires photographing from lower angles. It also gives more of a three dimensional effect to the photo.
A good concept, the inside of the computer but there is really nothing about this shot overall that really grabs me and hold my attention too long. The cropping is well done, the lines of the shot help draw you across the picture and the colors are very bright but tow things seem off to me, one, the lack of dust but then again it could be a brand new machine and the upper right corner, if you had cropped just a tad tigher there I would have started at a higher score. I'm starting at a 6 but I will be back to study it some more.
sorry, but I think I'm missing something in this photo.
eitherway, not a bad photo, the shadow's a bit dark, and I woulda ripped it out of the case and given it a uniform background.. or cropped it differently, just personal prefrence.
I like the colors, fits the challenge very well. Only thing I don't like is there seems to be a softness of focus on the Amptron and I generally like my words to be sharp - but that's just a personal preference.
