Gold?

It is a good idea, it just looks oversharpened/contrasty and a little out of focus.

BUt it is a good concept, and has good composition.

That eBay Photo

LOL! You get extra points for making me laugh... (please dont take that in a bad way).

You made an effort to make a liability (reflections) into an asset on this picture. You get an extra point for that.

Only things I find distracting is the carpet (I might have tried this with a different backdrop) and the extra items in the room.

You get creativity points.

Only item I found distracting was the fact that all of the metal surfaces are reflecting the blue lighting, except the "bowl" of the spoon. The overall effect is that I can't gauge if the "blue" areas are the main focus, or the bowl of the spoon.

Cute Idea, you get an extra point for that.

I would have went another route with the lightness/contrst, but I like that you went with a simple background.

In Sink: water dancing to metal

I'm always amazed at you folks who can get these types of water shots.

The only drawbacks I see are that the main thing I see in this picture is 'water', not 'metal'.

Very gritty (in a good way) photograph. The bottom right is a bit distracting, and I would have liked to seen the left link line fully.

The overall photograph works well with the title.

Travelling in Steel

I like this shot. When I first saw it, I thought it was a "moving sidewalk", then I realized it was an escalator. The POV adds the extra interest and the metals do not have "blown out" glare.

The only distracting part is the brightness at the 'end' of the escalators and the lighting - but I found that only minor.

I like the overall picture, but I'm not sure I like the reflection in the metal. Granted, it would have been really hard to take the shot and NOT get the reflection.

I may have tried for a more simple background.

The brightspot is distracting. But, I do like the fact you went in an unorthodox direction.
