And the flash of orange or red down in the right corner is distracting.

However, that being said -- I don't think that photography has to be about technically spectacular photos. I like how my eye was initially drawn to the keyboard, and that I had to work my way up to the brush. And what a surprise when I got there! You made a great initial impression with the shot. And I think that's worth an 8.


Thanks so much for the feedback it is very helpful. I am quite new to this and am improvising with lighting, I actually used a small led torch pointed at the brush head hence the harsh light and wouldnt even think to diffuse it as you suggested. The only other light was from the computer screen. It did come close to the look I wanted but due to inexperience I just couldnt figure out how to make it better. So your comments have definately helped. Much appreciated. :)
