Nicely done. Ver crisp and sharp with excellent color. Crop seems a bit awkward to me but overall no big deal... well done!

I like the lighting in this shot - the background lighting complements the subject well. (Not a chip from 1959, but hey - the image delivers!) Well done.

Good ole P4 northwood core by the looks of it. I like the light and the shadows it creates. I gave it an 8.

Great idea. A shorter DOF might strenghten this even more.

Wow, that's gutsy. Hope this was a spare motherboard you had laying around! :)

Woohoo computer chips! ;) Excellent use of shallow DOF, great colors, and good selection of border. The square crop works well here. :)
