The lighting is pretty harsh which makes the image way to light and the background to much of a focal point which takes away from the subject, the subject also lacks a real wow factor which is partially the lighting and partially the subject it self. The subject does have some neat layering and writing that makes me stop to study what it to figure out what it is and maybe with better lighting it could work. Hope the information helps, Good luck in the challenge.

I wish there were less DOF so the bricks weren't quite so in focus. Lovely composition.

Not voting.

Didn't know Canon makes sundials! Must be expensive, but sharp. I like the depth and colors 8

Interesting shot. I am assuming it is a sundial?!?! This would work well as a stock image.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Bright and clear. Didn't know Canon support also the old fashioned way of time measurement.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 09:55:32 AM
Good composition with some rather harsh light, but the shadows don't necessarily detract from this for me.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 09:43:00 AM
Very cool composition, I think this would also look really good in black and white because the lines are so interesting.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Nice abstract. I like the lines and the curves, like the similar tones of the background. It is an intriguing object.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 12:23:06 PM
It's a neat concept, but the background is kind of distracting, maybe a closer crop on just the top bar?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 09:52:38 AM
The composition looks thought out, but I have a hard time keeping interested.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

OK, so it's a sundial of sorts, but why does it have a Canon logo?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
