Not a bad idea, but I don't like jamming the subject as far into the corner as you have here. Also you have something in the black background that draws attention. (I thought my monitor was dirty at first :-P)

i like it, a watch gear? Your framing and lighting gives it an abstract feel, also I love the surface. 8

So close -- nice composition, far too much grain. Maybe too low light, maybe too much post-processing.

Tucking the subject into the corner seems to enhance the waste of space in the rest of the image. Perhaps if your gear was closer to one of those "Rule of Thirds" spots, the effect would be minimized.

anyone can take a picture of something incredibly small in the frame, but it takes thought, imagination, and creativity to come up with something that is SMALL in the frame, but also provokes INTEREST and APPEAL to the viewers. If the shot isn't appealling, but still fits the challenge, then it isn't really a great shot, as with this one, 1

IMO, the lighting is a little too dark. It would be nice to make out some of the detail of the wall (?)

I basically like this composition (the lines in the deep shadows), but the focus on the gear is too soft. Don't know if that happened with resizing or ?. Be sure to use the USM (or equivalent) after resizing. It helps a great deal.

I like the color of the gear and the texture of the background.

Very good Minimalism. Would also make a great negative space photo as well.

Good idea. Like the general concept just that the eye is trying to find the point of interest. Would have tried a different crop just a little bit more centered.
