That is so cool that you still have this. Does it work?

Compositionally, the shot is a bit "centered." This causes it to feel a bit static, and detracts from the interest level a bit, I think. That said, having the camera angled like you do helps, somewhat, as it does give the eye a strong diagonal to follow. It seems a bit tight at the top.

Technically, the lighting is good, as is the focus and exposure, etc. On my monitor, it could use a touch more contrast to make the blacks a bit blacker. Reading your other comments, including mine, I see, it may have been a touch flat (I did not vote on this computer). Boosting the contrast, or playing with curves or levels may help, to some degree.

Overall, you have a good shot, and it obviously meets the challenge. I think, though, that it may have suffered from being just another shot of a camera. I know that is what the challenge called for, and it would make a good ad, but the shots that really grabbed the viewers attention had a bit more context, I think.

Best to you in future challenges,
Karma

for some reason, this looks a little 'hazy' on my monitor. but it's a very cool camera, though.

Good lighting, but the contrast seems a touch flat.

lacks contrast...needs a bit of a levels boost in my opinion
