Could use some unsharp mask. My favorite settings for the dpc sized S602z images are 0.4 radius, 1 treshold and 50 to 200%. Dramatic improvements in sharpness perception can be obtained.

And the lens is at its best between F5 and F8.

Hello Geocide!

It's an interesting idea for the Challenge.
I would assume that you've used two types of lighting here, one from the left and a blue one from the top? or is it just a blue tint done afterwards?
The keyboard comes in nice and clear and focused but the Egg seems kind of fuzzy to my eyes. Is that because of your image resizing? And I like the way the background fades out to the darkness. . .

The finishing score of 4.9 on your photo may be telling you something as I don't really see anything technically wrong, so it must just be an issue of visual impact that held your score down, others did not see what you saw. . .

All in all, it's nicely done, so keep trying!

Nicely done! I'm not usually that crazy about shots with key boards, but this works here. This shot is very nicely executed. The lighting is great and creates some awesome tones.

Great idea, the egg looks slightly out of focus. The lighting is spot on though. I like the blue tint very much

Not very good lighting, otherwise a nice photo.

Good one. I think such an symetrical image demands that the main subject be centred though, and the lighting feels a bit fussy - but these are minor points.
