Shots like this are hard to do and keep the entire image in focus... I have had good luck with my digital camera on shots of this nature by not using spot or center weighted metering....
nice getting outside the challenge limitations while staying in the rules; clever; good focus-my eye's drawn to the 'c19'; a bit too much glare-could you have put the light elsewhere?
Great angle and depth of field here. Perfect selection of the board that you chose to photograph. The chips look like little buildings in a city. Very well done.
very nice! if you'd pulled the focus forward just a hair so that the stuff right in front of the C19 were in focus instead of right behind it I would like it more, even if it's not really C19. It feels too deep into the picture to me.
