I picked this because people give high votes to bland photographs in which the photograph directly meets the challenge, without any distractions (such as extreme contrast, graininess, a SUBJECT, etcetera). I hope you suckers vote it up high

Because this picture appears to be something I'd expect to see in a generic stock photography catalog, conveys no emotion, and is fairly bland, I'm tempted to give you a 10. However, your valiant attempt at creating high-quality stock photography contains BLOWN HIGHLIGHTS which offends me so I am leaning towards giving you a 1. But then it doesn't really matter, as voting has ended.

Looks like you had enough light that you could have gone done a few stops and avoided the blow out that is predominant in this. It distracts from the great lines and patterns.

this reminds me of the movie "cube". great shot.

pity this wasn't sharper. focus really lets an excellent shot down. Please try this again and perhaps use a tripod as it would make an excellent print. 8 for subject. 2 for delivery.

WoW ! What a find. I had to come back and re-study this. Really like the bright glare in a few spots and the darker shadows in others. Because of the unique imaginative find and the modernistic feel this has I say "10"

I think I would've used a square crop, as well as given this a border. I think that would have even driven the square theme further.

Something seems not *quite* right with the exposure. But I like it. Nice entry and well done.

very interesting

This is a good shot, although I find the lighting to be very distracting. Maybe if you took it later in the day when the lighting wasn't so harsh it would have been better. Maybe even in B&W.

Very interesting subject. Unfortunately it is a little confusing to the eye. But you do get an extra point from me for using my favorite word. PLETHORA is just so fun to say :D. 6.

L8r,
