I like this picture. The lighting and B&W makes it an interesting shot.

Drill bits were on my list of items to consider. I hadn't thought of putting them on a mirror. That's an interesting choice that works ok (be better if the mirror was clean - sorry, couldn't resist). Something about this still doesn't present optimally I'm afraid. Maybe with some space between the drill bits, or only three and have the variance in lenght a little more pronounced? As is, they clump together somewhat. JMO of course. Good luck in the challenge.

Overall this shot is very nice. I like the composition, color(or lack there of) and clarity. I think that all the sensor dust and those white spots on the BG really take away from the beauty of this shot though.

nicely captured, this flower reminds me of a fan, perfect DOF, like the green background, helps the flowers pop

very nice shot with good B&W conversion. You are allowed to clone out sensor dust in basic remember.

i like the dreamlike feel you were able to create with the processing. The light is so soft and your choice of a soft touch with this really created a warm image.

WOW janine .. this is beautiful .. just love this scene .. its soft and dreamy and nearly like a fairy land with those huge leaves in the water .. the horizontal lines/reflections in the water and the vertical draping lines created by those trees is a fantastic contrast .. :)
