From a busted DVD comes all sorts of goodies, here's one of them :)
First Impression - the most important one:
Totally engaging. This is an image that demands inspection. It conveys super hi-tech and could be used to illustrate magazine articles quite successfully. A very good stock image.
Composition:
Although it doesn't look to have composition in the traditional sense, it does. The angle of the board to frame is very clever as it creates leading lines and pathways for the eye to follow bottom-left to top-right. Excellent. Imagine how boring it would be square in the frame.
Subject:
The subject is great and the challenge context is 100%. The essence of this image however is not in the subject per se but in its treatment.
Technical (Colour and light):
Your lighting and treatment of this board is just superb. The under-lighting that brings out the fluro green is stunning and the first attractio to the image. The second is the use of the colours in your top lighting. Here is the true genius of the image because the colours impart a warmth and a quality to the image that clear light just cannot do.
If I have the right to long for any change it would be to see more of that lovely subdued coloured light down in the bowels of the chips n bits but it's presumptuous to suggest that it would be 'better' for it.
To grow its vote?:
Why would you? This is a technically perfect shot. Just trying to do something else to it for ribboning would destroy the essence of it. This is not a people-wower, nor should it be. Not every photograph is taken for a popular vote, some haave more important work to do.
Summary:
A great image, one to submit for stock skots somewhere. Some people forget that images have a story to tell or a mood to impart or a point to make. To make them 'wow' is to cheapen them and deny them the role they're meant to play. This is one such image.
well done

| Don't normally like shots of electronics, but this is very well done. I'd be interested in hearing how you achieved the lighting effect after the challenge. Is it just selective desat on parts of the board? |
