Acutally, there is a window to the left and it was the sunlight coming in. I learned from this shot about the need to white balance. |

| This is a very interesting wine opener, I would like to see it made more the focus of your picture, the background is distracting. |

| NIce idea. Looks like an intersting subject. The lighting seems kind of flat and slightly dim. The background seems kind of busy and unappealing, even with the short dof. |

| The wine bottle opener is a wonderful piece of machinery. You'll probably hear this a lot, but the background (stove, cupboards, etc.) are not the best setting for this beauty. If you want to isolate a subject, try one of several techniques: check out a local crafts store to see if you can find sheets of posterboard, or even large pieces of drawing paper; failing that, use a drape of - carefully ironed, no creases - cloth. Finally, your placement of this beautiful piece in the frame is very good. A good background and maybe a sturdy tripod would make this a winner. Good luck in future entries. |

| This could have been an awesome picture if it was taken with a solid black background. The subject is very appealing but the background here is too cluttered. The white balance is way off and the picture is not too sharp. I would try practicing with this piece taking it in front of a solid background. |

| I know the background is tough to shoot around but it detracts from your marvelous mechanical item (you've really captured the detail but it's lost amongst the cabinets and cooktop) |
