Thank you for entering the keys competition. The reasons I chose this for the top ten are.. I like the warmth in the colours against the dark back ground. I also like the concept of magnifying part of the bunch although it looks like they are in water . Good concept.

Thank you for entering the keys competition. The reason I chose this for the top 10 is mainly because of the use of the coloured lighting you have used. It adds more interest to the keys and the background. A good idea to boost everyday items .

Thank you for adding this to the keys competition. The reasons I chose this for the top 10 are. Nice narrow depth of field with some bokeh as the eye travels down the line. The increasing blurryness also draws the eye down to the dark at the end. It works really well in black and white

Thank you for entering the keys competition. There are some nice reflections in this piece Also there is some good Narrow depth of field on this as well as some bokeh at the back which drew my eye. It was a good choice to use black and white for this.

Thank you for entering the keys competition Nice Narrow depth of field . The blurring of the twigs behind made me think of barbed wire when I saw the thumbnail. I chose this because of the feel of the piece. There is a story here with the keys bound to the twig with the shoe lace. An evocative work

Thank you for entering the key contest. I like your use of a bit of light to enhance part of the object so we can still see it's a key, a metal object is always enhanced by just enough light. It works well in black and white.

Thanks for entering the keys competition. I like this one because it's so irritating and art should pull a reaction. That one key which is out of kilter with the rest... I just want to fix it. I am not sure if that's the point of the shot but well played, well done

Thank you for entering the keys competition. It was hard to choose a top 10. I am not often fond of this processing technique but I feel it works for this subject matter. I am glad you chose black and white as it adds to the effect.

Thank you for entering the keys competition.

I chose this to be in the top 10 for several reasons. I like a bit of rust and age on metal subjects and you have captured that well in this photograph. There is also a clear reflection showing more rust. It's well composed.
