I like this photo a lot. I like the lighting from the back, I like how it portrays "something new". Technically I don't see much I would improve. Maybe an additional light source from the side to make the golden pins of the processor more shiny. One of my favourites this week. -stephan
Oh gee...I know nothing about computers. This looks like a computer part to me, but if you asked me what it does, or the name, I couldn't tell you. So, setting that aside, I will say that the focus and lighting are good. I like the color and it almost looks like you can kind of see though it in some places. The placement is good, and straight withing the frame. Good photo, yes. Something I could stare at for hours, no. That's just an opinion, my little brother would probably have it hanging in his bedroom. lol. Good luck with the challenge.
Weirdly enough the Future font already looks dates, and I guess I am just about of the generation where chips and boards seem old hat. That said, in the grand scheme of man's existence, that's obviously not the case! PCs have only been with us a scant few decades and already we can't live without them! And besides, I love the green sheen, it has an almost luminescent quality to it and I like the composition. So there! 8, Kavey
