Greetings from the Critique Club
The simplicity and unique point of view are what make this photo interesting. Nice balanced composition. The overall tone seems a bit light; I think making the dark parts a bit darker would add more impact. The blue color was obviously inspired by the challenge topic, and it does work well but at the same time it seems a bit artificial. A slightly different hue of blue would work better I think. (Or maybe an entirely different color, like gold, but that wouldn't meet the challenge!) Also, some of the specular highlights are a bit large; they would be less distracting if made a bit smaller, either by adjusting the lighting or some minor retouching in Photoshop.
Focus is great, with just the right depth of field; having the bases of the dumbbells slightly blurry is perfect, adding to the illusion that they are very tall. |

| Interesting exposure. The weights feel like tall towers to me. |
