Well you've certainly met the challenge! I wonder if a close up of just the front spinner would have had more impact? Good luck

I love it! The DOF is superb and the sepia tone really sets this off.

I like this a lot. i like the black and white with the brown tint. The blurred looks really cool. A 10 fro me. And one of my favorites.

A low score from me. I think some color might have added visual interest. The only sharp thing in the photo is the lower left corner and mabe the center peg on the front spinner. The empty space glares in the center and upper right.

Why a sepia palette for an otherwise bright and colourful subject? Not sure that the duotone works well in relation with the subject here. Nice idea and I like the use of 4 tops leading into the OFF distance - gives a nice sense of movement.

Great dof and tones. The idea is wonderful, what better than spinning tops?

I really like the composition of this image. I like how it is focused on the foreground and not the background. Nice Job
