 All week I was looking for something to photograph. I saw lots of subject matter but nothing really stood out. My wife thought this was good, so I said why not. I really didn't like the way it came out so I tried to do it better but in the end came back to this shot. May the DPC gods be merciful. :)

Greetings from the Critique Club.

Nice idea and composition. I think a little extra lighting this would have made this one better. It may have been easier to focus the camera with more light as well, whether you use auto or manual. Aside from those things I think one thing that may have been overlooked is the over obundance of yellow in the picture. I would have tried to balance it out more. Either way with a little extra lighting and sharper focus I think this one would have done much better. Keep up the good work and lots of luck in future challenges.

could have benefitted from "tack sharp" focus.. (sorry, couldn't resist the pun!) and just a tad more light under the pushpins to bring out a little more of their colour.

Great idea. Bit on the dark side, even though it was to "erase" the glass and give the floating appearance. one small area of background noise

the abstract of this photo is quite appealing, but I have to say that the title doesn't do much for it :)

They are inside an invisible glass?! Very primary colors. I'd like to see a little more even lighting and composition - more push pins, more red visible.

...yet a good picture, like it (the push pins are a hell of a lot better then flowers or flags....)

Beautiful composition. I dislike your lighting - looks top-down. What is it sitting on? A tee?
