Hi from the C Club
You asked for an in depth comment on your recent photograph in this challenge.
Nice shot of appliances here.
I think that I am one of those ones that didn't really feel your reflections so much. I saw the oven, then all I saw and what kept drawing my eye was the electrical plug and wall. Repositioning the toaster could have eliminated this . having the toaster on the edge of the counter would have given you the whole reflection of the oven versus it just being cut off in the middle of the toaster and leaving dead space there,
Your ISO is way up there and accounts for the grain that I am seeing also, try a faster shutter speed or more light. The reflection of the power cord is a little distracting and could have been laid more flat and even mroe in focus.
Your POV is great, your DOF is good also, overall this is a good clean shot of an appliance, well done |

| I like the composition with the cord trailing off like some tail of an animal. The DOF on the cord is nice as well. The reflection is great, although the raised metal design in the toaster messes wiht the effect in a bad way. |

| Cool reflection off the toaster. I think the "spartan" counters/stove works to focus on the toaster and the reflection adds an interest of the surroundings which doesn't distract. |

| I like the shot very much. There's only two things that detract from it: the lines in the upper left corner (end of counter?) and the cord so out of focus at the end. The reflection on the toaster is fascinating. With a little more depth of field and slid over more on the counter, I would have given it a 7 or an 8. As it is: 6 |

| Nice shot with a great reflection. I would have been tempted with a slightly tighter crop to get rid of that distraction in the top right hand corner though. |

| Technically, a great photo. I just find the reflection a little boring. Maybe some knives or something would have been better than a cooker?, Or perhaps bring the Fridge into the shot to lend it self towards the theme a little more? Still nice though, |
