I don't like it, the lighting is just strange and unnatural, and the object itself is really dirty. The angle is also completely unnatural.

Instead of inviting us into the photo, you're shoving us in. I'll write more later.

Aight. For the record: the lighting can't be "strange and unnatural" because it wasn't edited.

Well I gotta go with silenced on this... the lighting does look unnatural... and the picture looks dirty. It may be the texture of the chest, but it looks like an old scratchy photo. I think maybe the contrast/brightness might have been edited and that made it look funny, but im not sure. And personally, I think the photo shouldnt have been edited except minor changes. I like the regular backgrounds instead of what you did with this, making it a white and boxey background and making the chest really white.

Also, try to work on your composition. Maybe instead of cutting out some of the shadow, make it a close-up with part of the chest going off the photo area. (Im taking a multimedia class and we are working on Photography/Video shooting right now, so this is what ive learned.)

The border also takes away from it. Usually it helps when you add a 1/2" to a 1" white or black border. It brings your attention more towards the picture with less distractions.

For some positive feedback now. I dont know if you cut the chest out of a photo (or took it in a studio or a white room), but the cutting is very good. Also, I like the angle of the chest and the shadow.
