Hi from the C Club,
You asked for an indepth review of your shot in this challenge.
First off, good idea! YOu are nicely sharpened on the main focal point in your shot. Your colours are good too,
I scored fairly low on this shot in the challenge and here are the reasons why.
I think this could have been shot just a little bit more diffently to give it more interest. In teh comments, this has been addressed too. Having the shot not in the center helps. Here is one I did of your shot (completely illegal though as I cloned.  Now as you can see, with this being off center, it does actually draw your eye more to the subject and check it out some more. It gets rid of the white brightness at the top of your shot. Having a black piece of cloth or paper behind this would have helped with that brightness as well and given you a more solid background. Play around with angles when you are shooting something, shoot with it in the corners with lots of negative space, zoom right in etc etc.
The smoke that is coming out is also interesting in this shot and with a darker background would have stood out more.
All in all, you did well

Lacks interest... Needs a dead mosquito in it so the title doesn't describe it.
Perhaps filling the screen with it with the smoke against a dark backdrop. |

| I don't like the bulls-eye composition and I wish that this was cropped much tighter. |

| The background is very distracting in this image. especially the weather stripping on the door (since it doesn't lay flat). Interesting idea, but it think it would have done a lot better with a different background. |

| I think a tighter shot/crop, getting more smoke would had help a little in this shot. |

| Not a big fan. The dusty floor is kind of ugly and the white highlight on top is a distraction. |

| Nice focus, could have used more of a crop, to rid the image of the top white light, and brought the focus directly to the machine, 6. |

nice idea but i'm not keen on the composition or the background
I think this would have worked really well with a black background and and off centre composition. |

| interesting shape but too small and it appears flat from this view i'd prefere a more 3D aspect, more light, less reflections, 3 |
