I love the sheen and texture of the, er what are the grippy things called, is it wrenches? The wonderful light on them against the black and the way the metal of the pencils ties in so well. Love the arrangement like upside down mirror images. 7, Kavey
Very nice photo. Clever idea, too. The light seems a little better from the bottom than from the top, but very impressive photography. It's so good, you got a bump from 8 to 9! Swash
I can see that this image took a lot of visualization. Very thought out. I like the composition very much - very creative idea. You must have a lot of patience - getting everything lined up just right (I had troubles with my pencils with one idea- glue was one prob and patience to keep turning them so they were just right!). Very symetric and great utilization of space. My one tiny pik is that the wrench on the right is slightly brighter than the other - but could be to bring attention to that one-the more i look - the pencils are also a little darker at the top as well as the wrench has a shadow that fades into the black - perhaps that is the intention - to make you THINK that is exact, but when in fact it is not. Either way - I love this - Great Work! 10 Ruthann
neat idea, great shot. i like the boldness and color, and wonder would this not have made a great black and white as well... ~mcmurma Aesthetics....7 Meets Challenge...7 Overall....7
Nice symmetrical & colorful layout. Good focus and lighting. Some creative thought went into the title.....I'm just not a fan of using the challenge name in the title of the photo, and this just doesn't have the WOW factor I need to score higher than a 6. sorry :'-( syamjonimi
I love photo's that get some sort of emotional reaction from me... and my favorite emotion is humour. Your's did the job there. How imaginative. And what a clear, well balanced picture. Not just another "Ho Hum, oh how pretty" Thanks for making me smile.
This is a beautiful image. Good composition; great clarity. Also like the originality and the subtle humor. Normally I'm not all that much of an admirer of total symmetry but it works well here. My only nitpick: seems a little soft at the top left edges (near the Forged area). 8 Journey
like this a lot. Very clean/ metallic shot. It just 'glows' to me. The neon blue is also very eye catching. I like the inverse symmetry. Could almost prefer it rotated slightly more so that the wrenches were on a slant / diagonal ? Good entry.
Wow. 5 CM exactly from the tips of the wrench to the edge of the photo on both the top and bottom and 2 CM from each side at the farthest point on the sides!!! (going by the large photo on the comment screen) Very impressive. Very very impressive actually. Far too impressive to have been done by eye. You spent some serious time measuring this. I am wondering however, that if you spent such time on getting it that perfect, then why is the distance between the pencil and the wrench on the very bottom edge of the photo 6cm, and the distance between the pencil and the wrench on the top edge of the photo 7cm?? I am thinking there was some kind of angle discrepency with the wrenches themselves and nothing you could do about it. You will have to forgive me for actually physically measuring your photo, but I just HAD to know. It is so beautiful. The lighting is great, setup is well...PERFECT and there is high humor appeal. You spent some time with this. It wasn't just thrown together. I really really hope people see this!!! I want to see this in the top 3. Seriously. I'd give you 3 10's if I could. Good luck in the challenge. ~Hbunch7187~
Wonderful composition on this! The lighting is also terrific. I know that it ain't easy to avoid a reflection on a shiny metallic surface like that. Very original idea as well! Good job! -8 KrazyKat
