nice concept, but your lack of effort did not do the concept justice.

I like the concept ok but I'm not crazy about the angle or the shallow depth of field.

Edit: I'm adding to this because apparently you didn't find this comment helpful. It seems you didn't find any comments that weren't glowing helpful.

I didn't like this shot and was one of the 31 people that rated it a 4. You could have scored higher if it you had more depth of field - the bottom left battery in particular is distracting and takes away from the subject. Also the camera doesn't appear to have been very straight which makes the composition seem sloppy, a lower angle would have made the viewer feel more like they were a part of the shot an would have improved it drastically.

This comment and the original was written to help you do better in future challenges.
