I like the (almost) perfect symmetry of the subject - it was probably not so easy to obtain.
Not sure of the tight crop, I feel this would be better with more space above - or below.
The lighting, flat and without contrast, spoils the image IMO
One of the few table top reflection images that is properly composed and captured - every geometrical feature is exactly where it should be and demonstrates the effectiveness of precision and a complete thought process in staging and capture. Where it falls just a little short is that the artistic impression does not match the technical excellance. The flat tonal quality of the image, while not a huge negative, is a little deficient in creating a matching wow or pop factor to the technical expertise. Still, an exceallant image matching the challenge criteria perfectly. If a little more color could have been added, it would have placed extremely high if not a ribbon winner. As it is, it should place well within the top twenty. Well done.
