*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*

An unusual image that meets the challenge brief.

A fairly interesting image in the way it isolates the word mute from the rest of the machinery through the shallow DOF but I find the dusty surface very distracting in a detrimental sort of way, its taking away from the subject which is not an amazingly absorbing subject in the first place. I do like the way the DOF is working here and the OOF elements, if anything an even wider aperture would have made more of the G8 less distinctive and isolated the mute word more effectively.

The subject is most obviously inanimate and therefore succeeds in terms of the challenge, there's not a lot really I can add except to say, thanks for your submission and apologies for the delayed critique, as they say, 'better late than never', or at least I hope it is, Sid

Visually pretty interesting. Would have been cool if the light bulbs were on too.

Cute idea, makes me shudder to think of all of the dust that is around us all the time! A good shot and nice focus on the mute.

Is this a statement or just an obvious cation? :)
