 A silver dollar spinning on a mirror taken at 1/15th of a second.The reflection looks as if it is spinning faster but is only due to the position of the light source.

Hello from the critique club!
Hi Dim7 :D

wow, that an imaginative pictures :) I like the idea of putting the dollar on the mirror; very clever. Great light source.
What I don't like is the background colour. I think perhaps a darker colour would have brought out the details and the colour of the silver dollar out better.
Did you try a slower shutter speed? that would have been cool. I think the aperture was a bit too low as well. That level of aperture only means that the camera focused on the closest point and the rest was out of focus;of course you probably know that already. I would have made the aperture around a 5 -7.. I'mnot sure exactly, I would have experimented to see what worked the best.
I think the lowish score was because a lot of people didn't understand the passage of time in the normal sense of the word. I liked it well enough though.
Wishing you luck in the future challenges :)
