it's a great photo, no doubt there, but i think the fingers are a little unnecessary. in fact, it might be better without them. the colours, sharpness, details and MESS of paperclips is visually very appealing, and the fingers are a little alien to the rest. 7.
A lovely clear photo of paperclips. I like the choice of colours. Intrigued to see the green and white striped ones. The shot is spoiled, for me, by having the fingers shown on the left hand side, but I admire 'abstract' style pictures like this.
I don't think the fingers add anything to the miage... I can see where they might be in there to make the theme more obvious, but I'd suggest taking the controvertial road and make the better photo at the risk of a few comments from people who don't think it meets the challenge. I think a bit more saturation and sharpening would help image quality as well.
