From the Critique Club:

This is a very difficult shot for me to critique because I am not a great fan of the abstract type of shot. I just don't understand that form of the art. I can tell when something works and can appreciate that some like it, but in general don't go for that kinda shot.

What seems to work here. I like your lines and overall composition.

What doesn't seem to work. First of all you have the word Samsung prominently displayed in the shot. The challenge description plainly said if you can identify it it doesn't meet the challenge. You have a lot of what seems to be noise here. However, without seeing the subject of the shot I can not say that is what it is. Lastly and most importantly, there is now 'wow' factor. There is nothing to hold my attention.

There have been many challenges that deal with macros or abstracts. I suggest going through them and looking at the top 15 or 20 and the bottom. This will give you an idea of what works and what doesn't.

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful...

I'd like it much better without the product name.

I think this would be greatly improved if you had cropped out the word.
