i agree with some of the comments. it's shot well, but lacks "umph!" the image does seem noisy, not sure what caused it.
from an abstract perspective, the ground plane looks like it's moving, which makes it interesting. i think that's a by-product of the simplicity of the subject and the placement within the frame.
Clean, simple idea - which is fine. Image is too noisy/grainy for a studio setup shot. Did you crop this in from a larger photo? If yes, try and get closer and fill the frame initially as that will reduce noise. Did you underexpose and bring back the details in post-processing? If yes, try and expose/light the subject a little better initially instead of attempting to recover in post-processing. Also, check your ISO setting. Use the lowest ISO your camera allows for shots like this. All of the above is JMO of course. :D Good luck.
Wow look at the composition... Love the rule of thirds here. Why it's in focus and CLEARLY is the MAIN FOCUS of the picture. I like the lighting use to convey the loneliness of the one battery. The color tone sets creates a nice mood. Ever active and yet just sitting and waiting for action - nice juxtaposition. And the title - what a hoot! Um but how do I know that this really is an AA battery? I just don't SEE the AA... HA! Just kidding. Beautiful job!
