Nice photo. Understated

I like the way the sword is layed out but the red seal should pop more. Maybe if the lighting was different.

Very well done. I wonder how many of the voters will recognize a wax seal? Anyway, Great composition. I think this is the most clever shot in the challenge. -10.

You need something in the picture to provide scale.

Cool, the shadows are the best part of this image. There is a weird little shadow sticking into the image in the very lower left corner that is very distracting though and throws off the balance.

Fighting for focal point position, this is an excellent example that you've understood the challenge with the precision of a master swordsman. All for one and one for all.

A great idea, but I find it a bit hard to find what is in focus.

Great colors. Nice reflections. Is it a mirror, or a glossy tabletop?

Good framing and composition, but it looks like it's been posterized (reduced to N colors) or NeatImaged to death, because the pins, especially the clear one in the center, are full of flat patchy areas. Maybe that's the intent of the photographer, and I love the way it works on the colored pins, but the clear one bothers me. 8
