The image is quite cluttered but I guess it gives an atmosphere of a workman's study. The lighting and focus seems ok. The subject choice is different and I guess overall it works as either a documentary or photojournalistic type shot.

very busy picture... I would perhaps take away some of the artifacts so you can concentrate on the whales

I think to improve this shot you'd have to remove some of the clutter. Too much going on for the eye to stop. The focus, light, color.....all good. Just seems messy to me. The blue whale is the key.

I like the whales in terms of topical interest, color, and shape. However, by placing them in this visually distracting environment you've reduced them to just one more aspect of the clutter. Better to have isolated them against a simple background. This looks like it was taken in the office of an antique dealer or eBay seller (from one who knows ;D). I gave it a four.

The background is a little cluttered. I like the lighting a lot.

Background is way to distracting. Now if you took a picture of them at the beach in the surf that would have been very interesting.

The lighting completely makes this one. And the foreground focus.

the whites look slightly blown out.
But an interesting picture none the less.

Meets the challenge, but IMHO the idea is to do so with some artistic flare. This seems to be more of a snap.
