Great sharpness, excellent lighting, and I like the composition. Leaving a bit of pure blue sky ,akes a nice contrast. Great picture!

Beautiful off-center composition, the background is perfect - I love the shadows and lines, the crisp focus.

Very nice. I would have liked the right hand side to end all the way out at the edge of one of the cups, preferably the fourth, but if not possible, the third. I like the framing / cropping at the bottom, but think we see just a tad too much uniform blue at the top. I like the blue / orange contrast.

A 7.

I like the composition and use of repetitive elements, good colors, good depth. The photo expresses the power of the machine. I think that the shadows work well here. Some of those bolts really pop out of the background that way.

The shapes against the sky are just lovely. This is one of the stand outs from this challenge.

Don't know what it is, and perhaps it's a bit dark, but I like it. Very nice contrast against the sky.

Strong form, crisp, clear, and sharp. However, the shadows are too dark making it difficult to see the detail.
