very nice lighting and depth of field - I would suggest cropping it in a bit tighter on the right to eliminate the stick shift - with just the white knob ther against all that black, it is distracting, and does not really add lots to the image.

The large blurry object being so up front in the frame, and taking up more then half the image, really draws my eye to it - so my eye is looking at a blurry blob.

I would suggest that instead with this image, that you switch your focus - have the back object blurry, and your front object in focus. Would make viewing easier on my eyes.

Just love the idea - must of been fun to shoot!

The shadow in the bottom left is distracting though.

While this image (IMHO) does not clearly have a circle (is it the helmet?) it is otherwise a very good image.

different idea for this image. What I would suggest for future staged shots is to make sure you wipe the surface to remove any hairs, or all that dust on the right side of the image. It really distracts, and can be easily taken care of by taking the time to pay attention to the surface you are shooting. It is the little things that can make a world of difference.

Other than that, good use of depth of field - you have several objects of different heights, and all are in focus. The lighting seems a bit harsh on the DVD's - if there was a window there, I would suggest closing the blinds, and having a longer exposure. You might need to use a tripod to achieve this, could result in more even lighting. Or, move the reflective object to a less lighted area - swithch the DVD's and the ashtray.

Just wanted to say, that while I personally do not like this image, it is overall a very good picture. The lighting, depth of field, and your point ov view are all really great.

Very creative thinking for this challenge.

Very interesting subject, but I would suggest a different point of view, so you were looking straight on at the circle in the sculpture, and have the circle 'cradled' in the strings - make any sense?

It would of also helped eliminate the distracting background on the right side of the photo.
