This is a great shot and very original in my opinion...love the DoF and the light

Great focus & DOF! I really like the wide crop too, although I agree somewhat with one of the other commenters about a little more room at the top and less at the bottom (but that's a personal preference). It's a great shot and very well executed. Nice job.

7 - Good. Criticism; your call obviously, but in my opinion, a tighter crop at the bottom, perhaps with even more space at the top, would have made this even better. Like the depth of field and background, although do wonder whether a different color choice of background would have enhanced the soldiers. Not sure on the thick frame. Also seems a 'flaw' on the right near the bottom in the foreground. Up to 7 from 6. edit:6 to 7 at beginning of comment

Love he colouring, pity that when you get so macro you loose the DOF that you need

This could be a better shot if you used a smaller aperture to increase the depth of fous, and had more contrast with the background.

Great idea for this challenge. I would have likes to see a little more DOF here. Great choice for the background color, adds to the shot.

nece execution and lens choice. I think a darker or more textrued surface would have made this look more dramatic and not pulled your eyes down so much

Something about the imperfect mould that makes this appear over sharpened.

Nice setup and lighting on this photo. While I really like your composition, it does leave me wondering how a slightly higher POV might look. Keep up the good work!

Really nice...the bad plastic cut is part of the charm and brings back memories- 10

Ordinary collection taken to extraordinary heights with the help of great composition and the perfect color palate.
