Not sure how this one is going to do...I'm still to new.

Okay the masses have spoken and I should have picked a better backdrop...I was trying to add texture, probably not a great idea for this challenge. I orignally shot on black but some of my pieces were getting lost.

I struggled with lighting the objects and after the fact I wondered if I should have built a tent, because I could not get even lighting. I also questioned the placement of the objects. I shot this where you could see all of it and I also cropped. I asked the family and they all liked it cropped better...so I'm on the fence not sure.

Nice shot actually showing a disassembled object, shame about the picture of you in the bell, solid 8 though.

the white furry rug reminded me immediately of alice in wonderland. I think this could have made a good reference to that, both due to it's activeness, and strangeness. I like the crop, using the full image frame was good, and the objects are dynamic, there's a lot of paths my eye can take without stopping on any one thing in particular.

on a more formal level, the single light source cause a highlight at the top, and a shadow at the bottom, along with casting a shadow on the clocks face (important IMO). I would have liked to have seen less wrinkles in the rug, and just a tad bit more exposure. Good Job.

I like this except for the background, sorry but it looks like a diaper! I might have chosen a smooth surface.

I'm torn between liking the fact that not all of the pieces are completely in the frame and being a little annoyed that the 12 is cut off on the face of the clock.
