Very good country cottage photo, in fact an excellent shot. The only reason I am not giving it a 10 is because the border doesn't fit to the photo. I would rather have seen this one without a border - 9.

Simple black and white border would have sufficed

I bumped you from a 3 to a 4 at the last minute, because I assume that's a pool of oil there. The fact that I missed it before pretty much tells the story why it didn't do better - the focus is way to blurry on the oil. Perhas a change of angle, some better lighting, and a little work on the focus would have improved the presentation. 4

I would have liked to see the oil, to have a sense of something liquid in the picture, and it seems like you let your focus land so tightly in the foreground that even most of the second gear is blurred, and the upper half of the picture is blurry enough to be highly distracting. I like the concept of the shot, but I'm not sure the angle/focus/crop/something was quite right.

nice limited dof pic. i'm guessing that most voters are gonna mark this down because the picture isnt actually OF a liquid... sure it has a liquid in the shot but I doubt anyone would look at this and say it's a picture of a liquid

I love the lower half of this photo... maybe it would have worked better for me if there was only 1/3 of photo with negative space, rather than half as here. Nice interpretation of challenge. 8
