I enjoy the concept, and I think this shot makes a good statement. But at the same time, it lacks.... something. I really couldn't say what, but it just doesn't jump out at me. Maybe a different background color to offset the cold tone of the metal? Maybe a more simplistic metal (say, one ring instead of three?) to streamline the angles a bit more? I'm really not sure.

stunning photo, well composed and lit. leaps off the screen!! i hope this does well.

Lighting on this is very nice. Personally, I would have cropped more off the bottom, it seems a bit top-heavy now.

Um, I hate to be the one to break this to you, but steel is not the opposite of a magnet. It's an interesting composition, well exposed and focused, but without the challenge context, it seems nonsensical.

geart idea. maybe the lighting should have been worked on. the reflexions on the ring are a little too bright

Cool composition, but the overexposed spots are a bit distracting.

This is a good picture technically. I like the lighting and the DOF. I don't understand what is opposite about the elements in it, though. To me the picture needs something to add some life or soul to it. It feels very cold and clinical. Perhaps that was the intended effect.

great idea!

Beautiful. I like the opposite of straights and curves in this aswell. Love the way the light reflects off those - what are they?

It took me a couple of seconds.....but an original idea.

I'm suprised that no one else used a magnet for this challenge. (not of the ones I've seen so far any way). Interesting composition and I like the monochromatic quality. 7.

Great concept, thought about this one myself but didn't have a magnet!

pretty good. would be better if the light was more diffuse. this picture is hurt by the harsh reflections
