Critique Club Comment:
This may have been a shot better done with some setup. This picture looks to much like a last minute shot. Your use of lighting, focus and cropping could have been changed to help make this a more dynamic picture of a keyboard. Crop out the top and bottom partial rows, use a desk lamp instead of your flash, either backup some to get better focus or use a step up ring to get the detail of the keys in sharper focus. Post processing your levels to get a deeper black and solid white would help your grey gradients to give a better balance.
Sometimes prep work pays off.

This was a last minute, looking around the apartment for anything square-ish. I concede the originality is an issue, and I too noticed the 4-5 other entries that were pretty much the same (and I voted them pretty much the same as what I was voted). However, as a first submission, I'm still rather happy as I actually did something this time rather than thinking "I should do something like this" and then never getting around to it.
Thanks to paully2k1, MattW, KiminNB, tiff, kellie, mcrael, JamieWillmott, and ChrisW123 for the comments -- helpful even when negative. :)
ChrisW123: actually, it's a Dell SK-8100 keyboard. |

| The keys are not really sqare-shaped. Close..... Focus/detail is a little soft, probably due to reflection of light off the keys. Good composition. |

| My god I can't stand pics of keyboards. And this one is the worst I've ever seen. It's out of focus and over exposed. I think we have the same keyboard... IBM keyboard? |
