I will probably get beat up in the scores for being similar to the last Red Challenge blue ribbon entry ... but this is the only collection of red stuff I could find around my house that was somewhat related to each other.

I think this same shot with a different colored background would have brought out the textures much better.

| This looks cluttered, as the lines made by the sewing needles, the spiral thing, and the pen, all lead away from the image. It also looks a little flat. Given those materials, I might have made a nest with the ribbon and that other ribbon-looking thing in the upper left, placed the smaller items inside, and took a shot "peeking in". |

| I think your entry suffered some of the same issues as mine. Not quite sharp enough and the red background took away, rather than added. We'll know better next time!! LOL |

| This is a nice idea but I think that the lack of sharpness hurts a little. You met the challenge well but it just needs to be fine tuned a little. |

| I like your concept here. The tape or ribbon??, seems to get washed out and looks over saturated for some reason.. It may be my monitor.. overall a 6 for me. Nice Job !! |

| I think the red background is overdone. Black would make all the red objects stand out. They tend to disappear against the red. |
