Very sharp, however the dark line at the top is very distracting. 6

I really like this. Simple, and great light and great title to boot. I might have cropped a bit more though.

Points for humor - not good humor, but humor none the less. (kidding, it's funny)
Besides that, it's a nice composition 8

I find the black across the top of frame a little distracting, would have prefered a fade to grey.. The shot is well composed, and the valve takes up jsut the right amount of the image for a solid 1/3rds layout. 7

This looks very professional but not very interesting to me, because I have no idea what it is. Interesting shape. I'm assuming it's a light bulb of some sort.

Very good lighting in this shot to match the coloring of the fuse itself. This came out really great - nice job!

The shadow from this indicates it has overhead lighting although I like the composition and the intrigue in the subject.
