I don't see any dust. I see excellent use of shapes and perspective, however.

Embracing Wrenches
by DCThiessen

Comment:
Very cool subject. You picked the perfect set of wrenches to use, as there are no unsightly measurements or designs inscribed on the surface. The color is perfect, the aspect is perfect, but the shadow in the lower right corner...what is that? it totally detracts attention from the texture and impact of the design. it's gotta go. You were borderline, but I gave you 7 because, if you look at it now, isn't it glaring?

If you're gonna shoot into the sun, thus halfway masking the background flowers, than just go all the way. Completely saturate the background.

Eggs in an ashtray, on a felt background. You can make this a lot more interesting, I know it.

This could be really, really great. But it needs a LOT more patience and planning on your part. Let's hypothetically tweak things a bit: first, the image is blurry; make it clearer. Ultimately, these colors work against you. Try applying a monotone filter, such as a blue one or a yellow one. Finally, your biggest flaw is your light source. You know that, unless you're a professional who can make his/her own rules, there's only one rule of photography that holds for every situation: you don't photograph into your light source. In this case, you've succeeded in darkening, muting, your subjects. Look at the green "piece" with the "eyes"...it's almost completely dark! Work on it!

Nuts and Bolts

Creative, but ultimately not up to par. You might start by utilizing the space better and photographing your subjects from interesting perspectives. Let's be honest: the straight-on camera angle makes this photo boring.

It's cool, but it needs work. Keep trying to capture this image using different techniques, perspectives, design elements. Aim the stream of water differently, maybe. Water splashes can be beautiful, or they can just get in the way. Yours gets in the way.

It's a great picture. You probably did everything correctly. I just don't like the flower you picked. That doesn't necessarily mean find another flower. You can sway your viewer's feelings, no matter what your subject, by controling your design elements, your photography. Zooming in closer, eliminating any background, would have made this photo better. Be bold!

I'd like it more if I knew what the yellow thing was. This is actually pretty good; I'm gonna knock it up a point because I like how you had the capacity to place the subject off-center.

Spice up your life

It's more suited for a cookbook, but I do like the colors. The downfall of this picture is the background. Not only is it wrinkled (seeminly accidentally), but it's boring altogether. Here we have the spice, nuts, and grains of the earth. Well the background is anything but earthy.
