A lovely upload that shows good usage of dof manipulation to punch out the main focal aspects. The colour palette is soothing and feels feminine in soft pink and blues, this colour delights us visually. Colour , as you know, really does affect us carbon based bipeds and brings about an emotional response. The photograph has good marginal space, is well centered , sharp. There is a curious hue at the very L (viewer's L) which is a tad distracting as it looks like a fellow worker may be asleep at the job. The story is well in place and this was a delight to study.

The coder's concentration is nicely evident here and I like that the computer screen doesn't suffer from the washout or reflections we often get.

Great light and detail, I just wish you had been a little lower, or propped the engine up, I keep worrying that it is going to fall over.

It is displayed that way (at an angle). I will try and reshoot with the camera lower and see how it turns out. Thanks for the comment.

I thought it a neat idea.

Congrats for your third place, Karaflazz!
