Repairing a scratch on the motorcyle required some rubbing compounds and polish. They game in the colorful bottles. The process reminded me of minor surgery. So. . . code blue. Adjustments: rotate 1.5 degrees ccw and size for the web.

I like it. I think that it would make a great ad or comercial. I do think that I would have left out the reflection of the cars on the right of the photo. Not quite sure how you could do that without simply cropping it out, or moving the entire shot over a bit.
The lighting looks good. No distracting glares on the motorcycle. No harsh shadows either. I think that you got the lighting just right, and on shiny metals, that can be most difficult.
I like the angle, it lets us see enough of the motorcycle and products to make it interesting.
Focus and clarity are really good. We can read the bottles, and see exactly what it is that you are doing to the cycle.
I think I would have left out the toothbrush. Simply on the visual appeal basis. I don't like looking at my own toothbrush, let alone other people's toothbrushes. Kind of an ettiquette thing, I guess. Most likely a product of some sort of obsessive compulsive disorder on my part. lol
I like the addition of the red stool. I think that any other color would have been too much, or make it cluttered.
Nice shot. ~Heather~

This is a good pic for an advertisement! Well done, very clear and detailed!

Nice Idea, however I think that your subject composition is all incorrect and you would have been better leaving out the hand in glove, and the reflected cars, by cropping to your true subject, the three bottles. I feel that this would have been far less distracting.

meets the challenge, but subjectively weak, IMO. It looks like a good photo for an advertisement of some sort...
