Used industrial lights to get rid of shadows. Nearly burned some plastic here, hot light.
Used Picasa for basic adjustments. Photoshop I used for levels, curves, contrast and USM. Turned it to b/w. Dodged the background.

Hey there from the Critique Club

Camera Work/Technical: Very interesting depth of field, as well as a strong conversion to black and white. The depth of field is the strength of this image, and it is exactly where it needs to be.

Lighting: I also like the lighting setup you used, creating a nice high-key feel to the image. At first, it looked a little hot to me, no pun intended with you trying to burn the house down and all, but after looking at it a bit, I like the lighting.

Composition/Content: The composition you created flows very well. It grabs the eye and draws it into the frame, while the depth of filed keeps it on the meat of the subject.

My Opinion: I think you were underscored. It is a very clean, crisp and simple shot that would probably sell nicely in stock. It is a very nice, technically strong capture. The only thing missing is the wow. I think this one still should have reached 6.

This is a sweet shot, well lit, simple yet one of the best shots in the challenge. Nice work.

Yes, IT looks like an USB cord... IT isn't very interesting per si, although the shot is well done technically. IT doesn't grab me, sorry.
