This is a real puzzle shot. It took me a while to see the robots.

The background is more in focus than the figure on the right.

Not a picture that will score. Focus? Level of interest created?

I think the subject of this photo could've worked, but the composition didn't work for me, nor did the blurriness or grain. I think with a shot like this, you might try it with a tripod and ISO of 100. A less distracting background would've helped too. Everything in the photo should serve to draw attention to the robot, the title is, afterall "I robot".
