Greetings from the critique club!
Great shot for the challenge since it did indeed make me laugh when I saw it.
As mentioned previously the color balance is a little strange. You could correct it but it would have been easier just to eliminate one of the off colored light sources and adjust your white balance based on that. I see that you had a shutter speed of 3.2 seconds. I think if you just went with the flash and used a reflector to fill that may also have helped with the white balance issue. (Or..just used the available light and no flash).
I'd be curious to see what this would look like with the flash from the left side. The keyboard would create less of a shadow and it might help look the like the key was moving out of the scene. (Of course that's just what I "see" in my mind). It would also be nice if the green filled right up to the corner.
In terms of processing it does a look a little over sharpened but that might be just personal preference. (I am wondering what processing steps you took as well by the way).
Exposure is pretty well handled and focus is pretty much right on the money. Congrats on your top 10 result! |

| brilliant. Not sure what you used for the legs, but it looks great. First thing I thought of when I saw it was - harsh lighting and shadows and they work GREAT! |

| Same idea twice so far. I like this one better and think that this is a rare occasion where the harsh shadows work perfectly with the tabletop green color. |

| Saw this idea on Flickr a couple of years ago. I considered doing it myself for a couple of challenges. |

| white balance on this seems a little weird, and the bright green tabletop commands the attention a bit too much, but i really like the idea |

| ha, I like the legwork on this version of the joke better than the other keyboard entry. The bright green mat/paper underneath is a nice touch, although the mixed tungsten light and daylight camera flash clash a little-- either shut off the light or flash, gel your flash or buy a daylight-colored lightbulb. |
