Magnetic letters and a cookie sheet in Isaac's classroom, fluorescent lighting, macro mode, spot metered. I traded the little bit of glare for better color on the letters and the background.

Cropped a little, resized, sharpened, simple.

lighting is just a little too harsh near the center but it's nice to see something other than the plain white background for a change

The background is ugly.. mayby a white sheet will be better
I think you used flash.. there is lightreflection..
tripod an no flash is a big help if you want get rid of the reflection.

Nice placement of the letters, good colors and lighting. The textured background probably is not the best choice to convey simplicity.

Simple on two planes. A good arrangement too. I think you should have tried to postprocess with neatimage or other two get rid of the "aging" on the surface of the letters. That plus the slight reflections make them look less apealing and detract from the shot.

Excellent concept that I wish was carried out differently, as I do not like this combination of subject and background in regards to color. They seem to clash I do like the way the letters are arranged. Also, it appears the lighjting is uneven and there is too much glare coming off the letters.

Great concept, the primary colors are great, and the positioning of the letters give it a simple childlike quality, the only thing I really see wrong here is a small glare, but sometimes that cannot be helped, this is good I like it

I really like the textures in this, but the uneven lighting across the three letters is just sliiiightly distracting.

i like the rusted looking background. one improvement would be to get rid of the glare on the first two letters.

i like the choice of the rusted background, as opposed to the standard white or black - not exactly sure why, because it wouldn't necessarily work with all subjects. maybe it's the contrast of of the bubbly/colorful nature of the letters and the hard/aged look of the background. nice job.

the glare off the a & b the is slightly distracting but otherwise a nice idea & shot!

Good concept. I think I would have used a more offset light for less glare and longer shadows. Good picture.
