Wow, I didn't expect to do this well on my first challenge, but I am happy! :) Thanks to all for the various pieces of advice, I can see the point in each person's perspective! :)
Beautifully low key. Good exposure and highlight/flare control. The dust on the lens (filter?) made me wipe my monitor. In this show, I find the reflections to be a bit distracting. They're so sharp and in some ways, keep me from being able to settle down and enjoy where the objects start/end.
I like your idea...It could be my monitor but the blacks seems to be blending. Regardless I still gave a good score...I don't want to rely on my monitor.
