First thought on this? What's the smear/nick/mark on the front center white area? Then I see sensor spots that could have been cleaned in post-processing. So, out the gate, I'm leaning on the downside. That sets me up for seeing the downfalls rather than the positives as I continue to take in your photo. Other observations that will help for your next entry are to use a lower ISO to control the noise, and diffuse the lighting to eliminate harsh glare.

The point I'm trying to make is that first impressions are important, and attention to details will improve the viewers first look and impact opinions.

All JMO of course. Good luck in the challenge!

Meets the challenge, but is somewhat unappealing. When doing a setup shot, clean the objects to keep them free of unwanted distractions. You can also, in basic, clone or heal dust spots.

*not voting as I'm in this challenge-just commenting since I've seen requests for comments in the challenge thread*

I like this shot in theory. It could use some more editing though. Advanced would be better to get rid of that yellowish thing in the foreground but as that wasn't the case it could still use some sensor dust removal, more contrast and whiter whites.

i like the use of the shallow dof and the B&W in colour of that makes sense
