BAM! That was my first thought when I opened this because it just jumped out at me and made me want to look at and around it. There are a few other reflections similar but they do not compare at all. Nicely done, sorry the scale only goes to 10.

Nice unique idea. I like the black and red aspect of it. would like the stings to be a little sharper especially at the tuning wrench location but still a nice image.

Interesting idea. Part of me wants to get rid of hte clamp (jumper cable?) but I wonder how much it would change the image. I like the ray of orange in it.

Colors could really use a boost of either brightness or contrast, this might also help the water really shine like chrome. Kind of a cool idea, good eye for seeing this.

I have a problem looking at this, the faucet wants to be the main focus because of it position and size. But because of your depth of field, the main focus is on the candles and the faucet gets in the way. The lighting seems appropriate for the candles and the reflection in the faucet is interesting but too out of focus to add impact. Maybe an angle where you were more in front of the faucet would help move it out of the main line of sight if in fact you wanted more focus on the candles.

Interesting idea. I love the rainbow effects in it (were you holding something in front of it?) Good scripture too. Depth of field is perfect.

wish you had used a nice clean cup instead of one that had just been used. It really distracts from the clean image you have. I'm also not quite sure if your feathered border is allowed in basic challenge or even works with this image. Sometime more simple is better. Maybe leave a small hairline border around it but have it in just a bit.

The small amount of bulding to the left is a minor distraction that probably wasn't avoidable. Can't put my finger on it but the image just seems a little blah and doesn't keep my attention very well...not sure what it is.

Nice idea and I like the way it looks like it punced a hole in the metal but it just doesn't hold my attention very long.

Nice image, I like how you placed it within the frame and kept out enough of the extra stuff to keep the attention where it needs to be. B/w also helps keep that attention on the chrome where it shoul be. Nice choice
