Very effective use of space, shadow, color, shape, and lighting. The simplicity of the image and yet it's powerful striking visual effect work great together. Excellent composition. I find it interesting that you would use an abstract image as an idea for a photograph. Especially one that is reasonable flat. A photograph by nature is two dimensional, highth and width. By photographing something that is flat this does not change the nature of the picture. If this was done on purpose, I would be interested in knowing why. Otherwise I would try and make it look more three dimensional to give it depth. None the less, this pic is very dynamic and worthy of a much higher score than 6.03. Keep up the creative thinking and good luck in future challenges. John Gill

Don't think I can say it the same twice and it didn't take the first time. Strange and uniquely done. Nothing makes sense to me: the cropping; the placement of the red; the placement of the wooden frames. Did you use shadows? Put it all together and it's a nice piece of modern art. Very thought provoking and well done. I hope you explain how you did this. Very different and well done photo.

Nice creative concept and good composition. The bright light reflections on the left are a bit distracting.

I normally don't care for abstracts, but yours is an exception. This is a wonderful combination of contrasting colors, and it is a very effective use of negative space I think.

Great concept! I really like your lighting and color. Placement is good as well. Cold be just a wee bit sharper, probably would have benefited from a larger file size allowed by the rules. Great job.

I'm trying to picture how this would have looked if you'd turned one of the trays so that the red was on the left. Not a criticism, mind you, I really like this picture. I just think it might have been an interesting variation.
The off-centre placement works very well.

you get extra points for using an anarchist color scheme.

Very good. I think the contrast with the colors matches the abstrat feeling you get while looking at the photo.

Nice idea- composition and color, light is too harsh for me.

The shadow adds beautifully to the "square" theme. Nicely balanced composition. Congratulations with this beautiful photo!

You have a modern art masterpiece here! This is my number one pick for this week. I love the composition and the use of lighting. I wonder how you got such sharp shadows in this one. I love the interaction of the colors and the texture of the boxes. I canĂ¢€™t think of a single thing I would change about it. Very well done!

Interesting shot. I'm not sure I like the positioning. I think a little larger would have been better.. Cub
