Hello
Please keep in mind I'm not a trained professional ...
Composition
This is quite the interesting composition. The crop is nice, the placement of objects in relation to each other works very well. This is an excellent idea.
Technical Details
As has been noted by others the flash overpowered the shot, blowing out the ipod, causing a severe shadow, and underexposing the tree. What might have worked better would have been to set the ipod in line with the tree and take the photo from a short distance back and crop to desired size. This would have helped mute the onboard flash and given more control over the final image. Overall a longer exposure and no flash would have been a better combination. Focus seems a little off, pulling back some and cropping in post processing could have helped with that. Post processing could have eliminated noise visible in the ipod, but would not have been able to save the blow-out on the ipod.
Aesthetics
For me this photo is not aesthetically pleasing, this is due to the blowout on the ipod and the harsh shadow both of which were caused by the flash.
Relevance to Challenge
This photo meets the challenge wonderfully. You have used an interesting perspective to create a dramatic effect (one very large-looking ipod).
This is an excellent idea. Some pre-shot details (mainly no flash, moving back for more control then cropping) would have made this photo pop.
You had a wonderful idea for this challenge that shows a very creative eye.
I look forward to seeing your future entries!

| The flash is a bit overpowering for me, but good concept. |

| I think the lighting was crucial here. You need to have a nice rich color on the ipod, it's way to blown out. |

| Good idea, but the iPod doesn't look like a building... is it the lighting? or the palm tree that looks like it's attached? Doesn't work for me. |

| Whatever that is on the right (looks like a trash bin) whether by flash or sunlight is too just bright and distracting, particularlyin comparison to the rest of the composition. |

| Fun - forced perspective. Tough to pull off and get good focus. Pretty hot on the left side. |
