I have been having really bad computer problems and yesterday I went out and bought this to hopefully help. Since it was the newest thing in the house it is what I took a picture of for the something new challenge.

I can see the newness. It's definately new. Did you chose that lighting on purpose? Looks over brightened and looks like the color has been altered dramatically. However, I don't know what the original box looks like, so I guess it's not fair of me to just assume that. Maybe a better background might make this a bit more exciting. You kind of lose the top of the box into the background. The clarity is good, I like how you can read all the words. Good luck with the challenge.

Come on man.

is this box scanned on a flatbed scanner? why is the image this harsh?

I feel your pain. Just lost two Hard Drives on my server. Had to start from scratch. What good is redundency when failure is too? Nice shot. Perhaps could have been better beside the chassis of the machine as you make the switch, but I tend to like more dynamic photos from a subjective perspective.

Good color. I may have been tempted to take the photo *directly* overhead so as to eliminate the bottom of the box.

Ummm...Ok, the box is new but seriously...This photo is below average. I don't think you put enough effort into this submission.

I get it, it's a new harddrive to fix your computer problems. Good luck, hope you didn't lose any photos. How about a new CD burner in that picture too?

If you have a really low end camera, please ignore the rest of my comments and you have my sympathies...... Very grainy image with no appearant "reason" for it. A lack of details in the smaller writing on the packaging emphasizes this. The white of the box disappears into your background, I would politely suggest using a different background. 5 Swash

New hard drive! Everyone's nightmare! Very clever.

I have been down that road before! I liked the idea, but the top of the box seems to blend in the the white background.

Too bright and not particularly original

This is a nice attempt at a 'product' type photo... I do like the concept of the brightness and I can see where you were going with it. I would have preferred a little lower angle to give the box some added dimension, rather than being a flat, face on view.... The post processing here has taken a toll on the image as well. Whatever you have done to it has made a lot of visible jagged edges... possibly the sharpen filter... it has this effect when over used... :) - jmsetzler

Seems to be a bit over processed.
