This photo was taken with master lock clipped onto an antique chest, that functions as our living room coffee table. I simply used the black and white feature of the camera. I would like some tips to improve my photography, because I am taking a photography class. Thanks for your time.

Perhaps it's b/c of its simplicity... minimalist feel. The padlock has a presence about it, and the image gives it am almost 3 dimensional quality. I'd like to think that this would be a top 10 finish, but given it the DPC voters deciding, I would be very surprised if it finishes that well. Anyway, congratulations on an excellent (IMO) image.
I think it could use a little more contrast and I'm wondering what the water drops are all about. I think the photo has better potential but overall works very well in the challenge.
Cant complain too much except for why the drops appeared here out of context:-) A good shot... contrast could have been better... perhaps with a dark colored box in the background?
