 Found this old stapler when I was moving, so I decided to use it for this theme.

This picture is also deticated for Milton Waddams in the movie Office Space, hope he will be happy about it :)

Yeah I know it is a Hole Punch. Just my mistake :(

Your choice to put the stapler in the lower left third is interesting, and creates a feeling that the stapler can barely be contained. More dramatic or moody lighting would heighten this feeling even further.

Actually, I think it's a hole punch. Not too much interesting here - could have been improved with a different color background or a more interesting angle, IMO

That's a mighty strange-lookin' stapler ya got there.

I don't know. I suppose as a minimalist piece it works. Of course, I'm not big into minimalism, but some people like it.

looks more like a hole punch, but what do I know? :) Nice simple composition, but a little more negative space to the right would have punched it up a tad (rule of thirds sort of thing), no? :) Just an idea!

Whatever.

Would you believe a hole punch?

Seems like the stapler should be over to the right so that the front of it is more in the middle of the pic instead of being on the far left. Plus, isn't that a hole punch?

looks like a two hole punch to me

Isn't this a two hole punch? Well in any case a decent enough shot but not really compelling or anything. Sorry. I sympathize, it was hard trying to get something that had that certain something, for this challenge. I really can't see a whole lot you could do to improve the shot. 6 (BTW my second highest score made for this challenge)

that doesn't look like any stapler i've ever seen.

Stapler? Or is that office equipment sarcasm ;o) Nice subject, nice lighting (I can imaging that a harsh shadow would look bad, but then no shadow would look boring, so good job!)

Looks like a hole punch to me :-) Nice shot though!

Stapler or hole punch?
Not a bad shot, focus is a bit soft IMO. Good luck in the challenge.

Isn't that a hole punch? The shadow is a little distracting.

Looks more like a hole punch to me. But nice placement none the less.

Is this a stapler? It looks like a 2 hole punch. Very good pic though, I like the lighting and the antiqueness of the item
