White certainly may be boring, but this doesn't do it for me.

the problem with this image is there is nothing to look at.

Comment by ace flyman:
the white looks a little off on the board, bottom right hand a little color reflection distraction, focus looks a little soft. I beleive for shots like this to score well, it would have to be pretty much technically perfect, plus exceed the spirit of the challenge....just my opinion............sorry....4

Comment by xonkas:
White = boredom ?
The only thing I see in this shot is white = lack of creativity / imagination.
Hopefully next time you'll use your creativity and a better composition to convey what asked in the challenge specifications.
Better luck next time.

Comment by merls:
the composition feels a little weak. at first glance it looks like you didn't try. but as i look at it to try to come up with constructive comments, I'm starting to like it a little more. it makes me feel bored, but there is enough interesting detail to keep me engaged.

Comment by metoecus:
I can't figure out how this is supposed to portray boredom. Is the whiteboard bored? The pens? That paperclip, perhaps? The items depicted are rather common / boring and don't offer any real interest.

On the technical / execution side: The picture, the camera, or both were slightly off-horizontal when this was taken, so the writing surface appears to be higher off the ground on the right side than the left. Normally I wouldn't consider this a flaw, but when the shot is as minimalistic as this, every little detail counts. The focus is a little bit soft and the brightness &/or contrast could use a boost. I'm guessing that you trusted the camera's meter to get the correct exposure for this scene. When shooting something against a solid color like this, consider the meter a rough guess at best. One of the assumptions that all digital cameras (and film development machines, for that matter) make is that if all of the colors and brightness levels in the scene are averaged, the result will be a solid grey image (this is called the "grey world assumption"). In practice what this means is that if you set your camera to fully automatic mode and take two pictures, one of a solid black wall and one of a solid white wall, both of pictures will appear to be of the same solid grey wall. Because your picture consisted largely of a solid white surface, your camera adjusted the brightness level down toward grey.
