I like these kinds of shots where you're invited to examine all the details. Perhaps stopping down on the aperture could provide more detail to admire. Nice shot, and nice lighting.

Personally would have preferred greater DOF here.

Nice lighting and detail, at least on the part that was within the DOF range.

This needs some thoughtful cropping. It just seems boring being totally centered.

Nice side lighting . I wish it had a little more dof though because with such nice lighting it's a shame to not get to appreciate all the wonderfully shadowed shapes.

This is quite simply the most beautiful ball of rubber bands I've ever seen - mission accomplished. :) Love your DOF choice - lends a nice air of mystery.

Lovely lighting and a nice simple image. I wonder if it would be improved by having the point of focus off centre? :)

The lighting and DOF make the shot. It works being centered and that's not often the case. ;~D

This looks much better in full size than in the thumbnail. Very good detail on the elastic bands.

I like the shallow DOF and the lighting certainly emphasises texture and shapes.
