The C in the coke can was cut out with a Dremel tool (took me hours...). The can in the back, I stripped all the paint off using the same Dremel tool. Other light: Just a heavily diffused 25 watt bulb.

(1) COMPOSITION (CONTENT) The composition here is alright but definately could be stronger. There does not seem to be a particular subject and the viewers eye tends to wander a bit instead of coming to rest somewhere. The bright "C" draws the eye at first, but does not have enough interest to hold for long.

(2) BACKGROUND The background is very dark, it does not distract from the subject, although the main objects tend to fad into the back ground a bit.

(3) CAMERA WORK ,TECHNICAL I wish there had been a bit more light so that more details of the cans could be seen. I would especially like to see more of the can on the left, the crumples and ridges wuld have added some interesting texture if they could be seen more clearly.

(4)MEETING THE CHALLENGE This photo a fair job of meeting the challenge. If you still have the can with the "C" cut out, you might try to play with it a bit more. I feel that this photo has greater potential than is seen from this particular shot.

Weird.... you must have cut out that glowing "C" and lit it from behind? Overall, the photo seems dim and grey, and the composition is a bit cluttered. I don't really find it appealing.

i'm sure you meet the challenge (you wouldn't have submitted otherwise), but i really don't get it. part of the reason is that the photo is very dark on my monitor i think. i can see a crushed can on the left (is that meant to be the past?) wondering how you got the C on the right can to stand out like that ... will check back on monday to see your description :)

This is dramatically lit, but not quite enough for my taste. Its very hard to see much on the left side of the pic. - Inspzil

Now this took some time to create. Nice effect with the can.
