Interesting choice for the challenge. It is different from anything else and I think that is a plus. I always love to see something orginal other than predictable.
Quality of Photo: Not sure what the orginal looked like but your dodge and burning strokes are visible on my computer. To me that is a big no-no. Dodging can be a great tool, but you DON'T want viewers to be able to tell you used it by seeing the stroke marks. The photo would have been better with more focus on the main subject..forks. The yellow light coming from the vase looks oversaturated.
Appeal: Photos are not loved by everyone. You will find some viewers to love your work and some that do not see your vision. I find this photo very distracting. There is so much going on, I don't even know where to look first. The red lazor light lines are just everywhere, maybe if they were only shooting out of the vase, it would have been better. The yellow light coming from the vase is a great idea...I feel that it is just too bright. Not sure why you used the foil....really doesn't add to the image, IMO.
Challenge: You met the challenge, not only with something orginal but with a lot of creativity. Overall, I think this is a great idea using the lights to add interest, I just would have experiemented with different looks to get a more appealing photograph....something that looks a little more put together and organized.
I hope this was helpful and isn't too harsh. I try to be honest about what I see. I am by no means perfect or claim to be...I have come up with some images 10 times worse than this. Just look at my portfolio.
Good luck in future challenges.

| i'm sure you had fun experimenting with this. it probably would do better if it had been cropped all the way into the forks, so that you couldn't see the foil. |
