Comment by Lustre:
It's a good idea for a shot but the illusion seems lost in this shot. Perhaps having several needles floating and taking the shot from an angle would have better displayed the phenonomen.

Comment by LucidLotus:
The title gives me the impression of someone who has broken up and gone away, and so when looking at the assembled items, they are with the light of things left behind. With that view, I really light the muted lighting and the arrangement of the items is good. I particularly like the red and blue coordination. The items in the surrounds I do find a bit distracting, mainly because I'm trying to figure out what they are, sort of get clues about who they could've belonged to - not being able to determine the nature of the items brings me out of the image a bit. Other than that, I really like the composition and subject. I hope I'm reading what you wanted folks to get out of it - if not, well it still works for me! 8

I'm not clear on the meaning of this photo in regards to the title. Some interesting blues and reds, but really just looks like a cluttered desk to me.

This is a nice idea for a concealed/exposed challenge. I like how you chose to show the various stages of 'un-concealing'.

There is too much going on at at the bottom of the glass for this to be real effective. If the glass did not have the diamonds at the bottom it would have been better.

i think this may have been better with the third object out or another object in the sequence between the third and fourth.
