A small level laying on top of a flashlight in my kitchen with the overhead lights turned out. There was also a vertical bubble, but I chose this shot.

First impression: meets challenge

Composition: Though not absolutely centered this shot may have worked better if the level were completely in the bottom third of the image. Focus seems a bit soft.

Exposure: Reflective surfaces make it difficult to eleminate glare 100%. In this case I feel the glare is a bit of a distraction. However, the other parts of the image seem to be exposed ok.

Impact: The image is very static and therefore doesn't have much impact. Putting the level on the diagonal in the frame may have helped in this regard.

I get it! The concept is extremely good. I would have liked to have seen stronger focus on the entire visible portion of the level. Other than the top edge, it looks very unfocused, inluding the bubble. So long story short, points for creativity but a slightly better technical shot would have been nice.
