this is a good idea...but the white background is just to "blaring" maybe using more defused light would have worked better (mind you I know NOTHING about light sources!!)
The image meets the subject matter dead on. A sound demonstration of the creative process in meeting the challenge in a very unusual way. A couple of minor detail problems as the image appears to be over sharpened, but that may be a lighting artifact or the use of an overly stark background. The DOF could have been used more effectively. A good solid entry into the challenge.
