 I tried a few different set ups. liked this one the best. I shot at f22 at 12mm. It still wasn't quite enough to keep everything sharp so i cropped in and probably oversharpened too much. But I figured it might not be too bad and i like the way it turned out. I also did a selective desat on every color except the red channel. Good luck to me.

I had this pegged to ribbon.. surprised to see it's yours!!! ALMOST 10th place.. and you should have made it! This is so much better in meeting the challenge than a few that did place top 10.

Congrats, love it.

Impressive shot. I like the colors. What are those things anyway? They look like weapons of mass destruction and they're staring at me. ;-)

Not quite sure what they are but this is quite an interesting set up. Well done

Seems like the focus should be far or near...not middle.

Like the shot though, sprinklers.

A strong entry (only flaw I see is a *slight* mis-focus at the top of the objects). Great composition, I like the desat (really works here), and th reflections are beautiful. Should be a high placer, if not a ribbon.

good product shot with perfect placement. There is something about it that makes it seem oof. Maybe because I can't read the writing or the white background? Good light control.

I like it but what is it? unpside down sprinklers? I love the contrast of the red and the metal.

Very cool! Great idea to use the sprinklers and the reflective surface. The symmetry is excellent. Just DOF could be a little better to make everything in better focus.

Focus could be a little stronger, but what a striking composition. The red really stands out, and is awesome. The reflection is really great. So focus is the only problem I see here. 7.
