| Incredible use of light here. You were able to achieve an awesome shadow. The border in this piece is really nice. It gives the scene a better composition. Absolutely beautiful. |

The shape of the shadow (and time of year) makes me want to re-title this "Senior Prom."
I think I agree about either bringing out detail in the divider (screw threads), or get rid of the specular highlight and let it also be a soft, gray, semi-silhouette (shadow-like). Maybe take another version and spot-edit those highlights out to see.
Without messing with it I can't tell if rotation would help -- I think you got the "point" across pretty readily. |

I think I'm missing something. Someone said to use a simple border. Does it get much simpler? It's white.
The only thing I can think of is that the black triangles are not part of the photo, rather part of the border?? It looks like a white paper which was angled on a black background. maybe it's ME that is seeing it wrong? Oh well.
As for the photo. It's a really great photo. The only thing that I can really see that I'd like to see improvement on would be the focus. It seems like it's generally soft throughout the photo. Both the shadow and the object are soft. Maybe at least have the points sharp? I can also see that there is a screw section in the middle, but those are soft also. Maybe it just seems that way cause of the light.
The lighting I think it good. I love the shadow, and think that it's a really important part of this shot doing well. I like how the white surface fades from bright at the top to a bit darker at the bottom.
The angle is interesting, though I find myself tilting my head to try to look at it. I'm not sure why, but aparently my brain wants to see this horizontal. Visually though I like the angle you put it at. I think it's nice. But still trying to turn my head. lol
I like the darkness of the object on the light of the paper. Great shot.

| Great use of light and shadow. A touch more sharpness would have been great for my tastes. A most curious border also. |

| The protractor (?) really seems to be dancing with its shadow- the curve of the paper help that illusion. the white of the paper and black behind provide a nice frame for the subject, and the tilt adds to the illusion that the "dancer"s are whirling. Everything is very simple and flat but the tool whiuch really pops out at the viewer with its metalic texture shown by the highlight along the edge, and the threads on the screw. Focus is a little soft. Nice, well thought out. 8 |

| super job of keeping the paper edges straight....did you not have to curve the paper to get the curved shadow? |

| I like the angle you did this at, makes the shadow very interesting with that curvature. A good subject for a duotone topic, IMO. |

| Interesting contrast in that the shadow produced was curved while the instrument has such clean, straight lines. |

| great idea and execution. the darkness on the compass kind of dulls it out a bit, besides that I love the tones |
