 AA battery challenge...could be boring, just like my shot hehe. I just did't know how to make batteries interesting. I had one idea but not very realistic when it comes to actually taking the shot. The batteries are't quite centered and they aren't in perfect rows which is driving me nuts but that's the best i could have done for the following reason:

The most ironic thing happened when I was taking this shot. I was playing around with composition and as i was taking 50th shot or so, my batteries DIED! God, how annoying. So I'm stuck with this shot that..well could be a little better honestly. Although, the image quality is nice and the lighting isn't toooo shaby.

PS: please notice that under the Duracell logo it's written: Pile Alcaline. Why? Cause these are French Canadian batteries. YEAH BABY!

might have worked out a bit better with a lower aparture to give more depth to the photo

this a tad too boring for a studio shot.. although it might not be a proper studio..

Nice and clean photo. I wish it was a bit brighter.

Too centred to be truly off-centred but not centred enough to work as a centred composition either and there's a tilt too - these little details are more important in an image where geometry/ reptition/ shape are the key visual impact. Nice lighting.

Nice and sharp. As you were going for symmetry, I would have liked to see both sides equally lit - my eyes are drawn too quickly to the left.

I saw another shot just like this already. You both have great concepts, but you have the execution to back yours up. Excellent work: "10."

nice formation.. though the lighting and colour disappoints.. I like how the light falls on it but it lacks the punch to make it a stronger pic..
