I think you've captured your title okay, the chain shows some nice color and your focus is alright, but your lighting seems to have blown everything away, just to "bright" for my liking.

nice shot of your cat. I like the pink tongue and the eyes, the nose, actually I like everything about the face. Good focus, good lighting - natural?
If you don't mind me saying so - what you have to be careful about Pet photos - remember to clean their eyes before you get too close - a lot of people don't like looking at the messy eye yuck!

Nice soft colours here, great lighting, nice focusing, nice framing also. Pretty hard to comment on something so pretty!

Lovely colours, great sparks. You're going to have to tell us how you did that, but I think perhaps you used a sparkler? I like the way you captured the color of the lighter too. Did you also use lighting coming up from the bottom of the lighter?
A really great shot. Keep looking at it, and sometimes think that perhaps just a bit too bright in the whiteness? Great photograph though - so just ignore me!

very different idea for a Challenge. Good color, good lighting, nice shadow from the lighting, good focus, great dof, really nice photography.

Oh, lovely colours! Is this natural light shining through? Good focus. Nice thin line for your Framing.

Good use of your money. Nice lighting technique, although it leaves everything kind of dark and unfocused. You should have raised your camera up from the table a bit so as to be on "even ground" so to speak.

Personally I find any kind of made-up-photo of the World Trade Centre to be of Bad Taste at this time in World History, but that only in MHO>

Technological Hieroglyphic

Comment:
Very nice shot of modern technology. Nice colors are being used here also. Good focus, and of course you've used good lighting to obtain your photo. I think your use of the red and blue Framing makes it look like it's "part" of the Technological Hieroglyphic and distracts from your work.

Lovely colour shown here and you've done a nice job of capturing it on film. It looks so delicate! You've given it good lighting, focus is right on. Your background choice is perfect for this china piece.

Nice Black and White! They've been around forever, haven't they? Nice focus on the nib. Actually nice overall focus on the whole picture. Nice shot really. Good lighting, nice dof.
