the focus is a little too soft for my taste on this one and the lighting is a little flat

the set up is good, but the detail is lost... perhaps an unsolved assignment or a problem could have made it more dramatic. I would have liked a tighter crop with only the calculator and notebook more

I think the focus is hurting you a bit here.

Wow, glad I don't have THAT gadget! Looks like an expensive venture there with that many batteries. If only the focus had have been a bit better. Bet you're working without a tripod like me??? I'm going out to get myself one. I have the same problem!

The lighting on this shot is poor, and I think overhead looking down was a poor composition.
