You beat me by two places! Actually, I would have placed this even higher. It is a great study of the subject matter and one of the better entries that conveys the challenge. Wonderful focus. The lighting is pretty good, a bit harsh in some spots but overall well exposed. Just curious if you placed any of the items? What I like is the monotone colors of all the items on the shelf and just a splash of color from that matchbox (?). I think if you would have placed that box on a more eye focused section it might have had a bigger impact. Just a minor suggestion. Really, this is a terrific image!
I really like this. Makes me think of a crazy biologist from days of yore, collecting anything and everything, using an ancient label maker (for which you probably can't even get tape any more). Great entry!
