Mechanical Corkscrew
by marbo

Comment:
Composition: 4, I read picture from left to right, so your lines have a tendency to screw me back out of the picture.
Technical: 5, Nice focus and DOF
Appeal: 4
Challenge: 2, The chip in itself isn't mechanical to me.
Overall Calculated Average Score: 4

Voigtlander
by Neil

Comment:
Composition: 8
Technical: 4, The light is killing you here, too direct, try to diffuse it more, to take the bright spots away from the edges.

Brace and Bit
by Diana

Comment:
Composition: 4, The brace looks out of place, boring a hole in a board next to the wall.
Technical: 4, Subject could be moved away from wall to disperse the strong shadow caused by your flash.
Appeal: 3, I would have tried to make a story out of this someway, maybe by adding a worker. Hell I don't know but it needs something to make it pop.

Past Usefulness
by brooklyn

Comment:
Composition: 4, The hinge doesn't take command of this image, even with the desaturation.
Technical: 5, The single extra bright screw head just takes over. You need to subdue it.
Appeal: 4
Challenge: 7, The mechanical portion is not strong enough in this image.
Overall Calculated Average Score: 5

Only Time Will Tell
by TDCollins

Comment:
Composition: 7, I think it would look much better if it were straight with the frame.
Technical: 7, Not grainy, good capture with the subdued light.
Appeal: 5, Needs another factor. What are we timing..or something like that.
Challenge: 10
Overall Calculated Average Score: 7
