Hey there from the Critique Club
First off, always try to include some info about the shot in the Photographer's Comments section. An old PA doesn't give us much insight into how you prepared this shot. It really helps out when we know what the photographer was thinking and what equipment/lighting/etc. were used, especially when you request a critique.
Camera Work/Technical: This image is nicely seen, and well captured. I like your depth of field use that isolates the front few knobs. The exposure looks nice, and you captured a great tonal range.
Lighting: The lighting seems very nice, with each knob holding its own catchlight.
Composition/Content: Great point of view. I like the tilted composition that you used here, and the rhythmic rows of knobs work well to lead the viewer's eye deep into the frame.
My Opinion: I think that this one scored close to its potential. While this is a very nice photograph, it lacks the wow factor to propel it into higher scores. Voters here look at each image a for a very small amount of time. There are usually about 600 or so images to vote on each week, so it really takes a powerful image to grab the average voter and keep them longer. Vivid colors and strong contrast tend to do better in most challenges. Scoring this one, I would have given it a 6. I think that it is an above average photograph, but needs something else to grab a voter's attention. |

| I like this one a lot. I'd hate to be in control of that, though. |

| Yes, very "vintage", and right for me the B/W option. Here is my 9. |

| Very nice execution. Would have liked a slightly shallower DOF, but this is not bad. |
