You've made a graphic image out of this photo, and I don't mind that so much, though I'msure that some do mind. I do enjoy the lighting and especially the arrangement of the objects in the frame, added to excellent cropping. The low key lighting makes these every day objects seem mysterious in a technology sense, as these are the images that fill the frame.

Speaking only for my personal aesthetic preferences, the blotchy/gloppy over-modified 'focus' here is bizarre and very distracting. If it were focussed more mundanely, this could well have been a 9 for me. As it is, 5.

your digital effects are really detracting from this image. your choice of subjact matter was probably a little on the boring side and you felt the need to give more interest to the image, but it's not working. lighting seems okay, but i can't really tell much. it just doesn't have the feel of a "photograph". 3.

An interesting the shot, but the posterising (or similar) filter completely detracts for me. 4

I know that this was an open editing challenge, but what you did to this photo makes it, in my mind, appear to be overprocessed, and look like a drawing/water color or something. I'm not sure I really care for what you did here. I think that emphasis on a photography website should still be put on the original picture more than the editing, even in an free for all editing challenge. Just my opinion though.
