Thanks to all for their comments and votes. The sub was lit by a small flashlight and the shot was taken with the camera on a mini-tripod. Reuben, I tried your suggestion before I took this shot, it came out OK, but I didn't think people would have a clue as to what the picture was. As for the cropping, I tried this shot a lot of times and could never get the lighting and focus just right. This is the "cream of the crop" of my shots. I would have also liked a smaller aperture to get the left side in focus, but my camera's minimum is 4.0 -Ben
This is kind of cute, but it's interesting that it looks better in thumbnail than full size -- perhaps due to depth of field constraints or unavoidable jaggies on the boundary between the silver and black. Overall a nice shot, though.
Interesting. I would have liked it better if you had gotten in closer to where you can't see the speaker grid at the top or bottom. It would have been much more abstract, and I think I would be able to better focus on the curves.
lots of musical themes this time eh? you must have a sharp eye for little things. i would never have thought of looking into my speaker for inspiration! high marks from me.
Nice crisp image. I gave it a 9. Would have voted a 10 except to my eye a slightly wider aperture should have been used to get the left edge of the speaker housing in focus. I understand you may have had a different intent. I like your style.
This photo made my top 20... On closer inspection, I am noticing that the left side of the speaker cavity is out of focus. I know how difficult it is to achieve depth of field on a macro shot. I like the composition of this photo and keep up the good work! Score: 7
