Took a photo of my husband's circuit boards. He is an electrical engineer. Adjusted typical elements (contrast, levels, hue/sat, sharpness) and painted in the star and lights to add to the effect.

I really like the star shaped reflections in the picture. They help to make this more than just a picture of transistors. I think I would have tried to emphasize them more by cropping the picture in a little more.

Have to admit I didn't get it at first glance. I love it now. The angle, lighting, etc. are great. Very creative!

Fits the challenge but not an overly interesting photo i do like the little starbursts on the transitors and the b/w is a good choice

I admit that without the title this probably wouldnt be as neat an image as it is with it. I love the dark black and white, the contrasts are great. The angle compliments the title by making me think of a final turn made by a plane. The sparkly bits really add that 'ting' to the shot too, and it does indeed look like a city. I'm not one for circuit bord shots, but I do like this one as it has interest.

I've seen similar shots before, but none have had the clarity and flair that this one has. Fun point of view, and wonderful lighting. 9

The TITLE is perfect. Great idea and image. This should win a ribbon!

Interesting picture and a fun way to approach it.

I suspect that the glares on the capacitators were done in post processing?
Nice touch though!

I really like this image and title! Very cute!! I would have added some glints or something similar to the row of circles above the three "towers" with glints on them. I think it would have looked like a runway. Maybe that would be cheesy, I don't know....

Nice touch with the little "star bursts" here and there. Even the border is good in this although I don't USUALLY like really thick borders. The "low key" feel in this one is great.

The innards of our electronic toys are always facinating. You did a good job capturing this one.

Like how you did the spectral highlights. Seems a bit too dark overall on my monitor.

I really like way you composed this shot. I like that you took it on an angle and turned it into black and white. Very effective.

Too dark

Really like this, the 'sparkles' on top of some of the chips and transistors is really good, looks like warning signals on your 'buildings'

I do think the whole image looks too dark though. Maybe altering the contrast and brighness, also a little sharpening would have brought out a little more details. Not too sure of the border though, a little thick!
