Nice shot, could be a little sharper. The texture of the building really makes it look desolate.

Critique Club Review:

I like the way the graph paper fades towards the back. It helps keep the graph lines from pulling the eye away from the subject.

A little more angle on the light would have emphasized the shadow cast by the protractor. Increasing saturation would have made the red have a little more energy. Not a lot of increase would be needed. "Moderation in all things..."

To make the protractors look newer, wipe them down with a bit of oil. (Cooking oil is fine.) And the buff them dry a bit so they don't stain the paper. Nice glossy finish that washes off with soap and water. Hides minor scratches too.

Interesting photo...

This is well composed and well executed, I just don't find it very compelling. Maybe a shallower depth of field and deeper contrast would make the colors stand out and make the shot more interesting.

Good composition, I like that you used graph paper as the background. Lighting could be a bit brighter and more even.
