A very difficult photograph to take correctly. I think the idea is great, but the main problem with this is that the binoculars themselves are too dark. All the detail of this pair of B's (esp. because they are obviously used a lot) has been lost, which I think is why you didn't do better than you did (although 5.5 isn't a bad score at all)

The only decent advice I can give you is to make sure that your image is lit properly, and try to do your best to bring out all the characteristics of your subject.

A good idea that faltered slightly on the technical side.

Keep it up!

excellent idea.. I am wishing that the B is a bit clearer. .. don't have a suggestion on how to make that happen. Also, a bit of reflected light across the top of the binoculars would improve the detail and depth (in the mid region). Looks like these binoculars have been thru the mil. Nice subject.

Nice idea, but there doesn't seem to be any focal point.

Very clever - I like this. Only probelm I have is that the front of the binoculars is just a little too black, so I don't see as much detail as I would like (probably because of the large dynamic range you've got with the white background?)

Very creative! The picture seems a bit tilted but doesnt ruin the shot.

A+ for cute idea, clever thinking. I really like the idea. The focus seems very soft.

lose the letter B. It doesn't require explanation. would be a better photo as it was.

too bad the binoculars are dinged up a bit. i like your choice of a b word. its more unusual than the rest.

Cleaverly done. I like the monochrome look to this: very old world typsetting feel to it.
