Hi Marjo.
I gave this a 7..a strong 7.
I liked the blue and thought it had a good over all feel or mood.
The shadow is interesting and the softness I think works. I guess I didn't find any wow or punch to along with the above. It's still a good shot.

I like the shadow cast by the key

I like how the shadow of the key enhances this picture. The key seems a bit soft focus to me. Love the colors here too.

I like your idea. I would like to see the key in crisp focus. 7

I really like the shadow of the subject in the background. The colors are nice as well. The only thing I think that needs help is the key could be a little biit more sharp.

very effective - my favourite so far!

I love the color and the angle in this shot. The light really adds good effects too. The focus on the key seems to be a bit soft, not sure if you did that on purpose. 9

I'm not sure about the shadow...

Wow. This is fantastic. The more I look at it the more I like it. Thanks for submitting it. 10

I can't study this shot without wondering if it would rise or fall without the shadow. I like the shadow and the context and perspective it adds while wishing I could see the photo without it. Having said that -- it's really my problem perceptually and doesn't stop me from admiring the shot. Clean ... simple ... minimal. That IS after all, what we were after ... and you've done a great job achieving it. Best of luck!

Nice shot, effective lighting

Great idea. If the handle was sharply in focus this would be close to a 10. This image works.

Not too attractive. The shadow is nice to see. Use of depth of field was interesting.

Great lighting, and shadow play. The angle of the key is confusing to my eye.

Nice use of blue and shadow giving the subject the focus of attention.

Very nice but very sad the key is out of focus.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 04/27/2005 06:59:50 AM
very interesting. I like the shadow. The key seems a little soft but not too bad. I like the shape of the key, seems ancient and appears to go with your color scheme perfectly. Great job and good luck.
