Ouch, did not see this as a 13% shot. I guess the color was a turn-off. Live and learn, I guess?

Who can? Especially these days. Anyway, nice perspective, but I'm guessing this is more about bragging than anything else. A bit of a voyeuristic angle don't you think?
The background color is a bad choice. Taking a picture of a camera is another bad choice But any picture is good for practice and I'm pleased to see that you tried to find a creative angle.
what a strange colored background. i would suggest either really brightening it or toning it down. probably brightening would have been the best option. great perspective of the tripod, focus is nice. -6
