| I am a big fan of this image and what a creative use for your broken lens. One thing I woudl recommend though is smoothing out the kind jaggy/noisy darker red upper-right corner. |

Greetings from the Critique Club,
What a high impact image you have created here. And certainly fits the challenge well.
First impression comes from the red background that works well to highlight the green foliage and to give the image that extra punch, good choice. The composition is good with excellent camera angle I would have only adjusted that slightly by turning the dish clockwise a tad to give more impact by viewing the dish through the lens more (does that make sense?).
I like the lighting it is good but you could have added some more from left front to shed a bit more light on the broken lens. I also feel that the soil/media and the writing on the lens could have been a little sharper for a better image.
There is nothing like seeing a broken lens to invoke feelings amongst photographers so you were on a real winner to start with and with a few minor adjustments I think you would have had a ribbon.
Congratulations on a very good image and good luck in future challenges.
Kind Regards
Tim Sturt

| lol, funny idea. i didn't enter this challenge but thought about using my broken sigma lens for a shot. i don't think it wouldn't have turned out as nice as this though. |

Clever presentation and wonderfully creative! Scores well artistically, and there is nothing that I would suggest for improvement, technically.
One other comment. I wonder how this would look against an orange or yellow-orange backdrop...or perhaps an ivory backdrop. I think the red works, but to me it clashes with the theme of redemption. |

| Oh, the poor kit lens! What did you do to it! Very funny. Good composition and focus. Not sure about the saucer but that is being a little critical. Good job. |

| Very cool, i would make the background a different color. It dominates here, and it should instead highlight the green of the plant. Thanks for a cool idea of what to do with old lens =) |

| Good use for decorating.Like the gradiant background accenting your potted broken lens. The magnifying dish is a nice touch too. Good luck. |

Can I assume that you didn't break the lens for DPC?
It's a great idea and you have made it work well. Well done. |
