This is just a little something from my house... I really like the sticks, so I took a couple of pictures...what do you think? C&C more than welcome

The sticks' shape, creates a nice abstract pattern, but the background and other objects nearby in the first image are a little distracting. With that said, I like the second version better. The first one fits a "store catalog" category. Ligthing is good. Did you bounce your flash off the ceiling?
I suggest using a lower ISO and a tripod. Your pictures will look best at ISO 100, but you may have to use a very slow shutter speed for that (requiring the tripod).
The first one doesn't look as sharp as I'd expect using L glass.
I agree with Vlad Xp, I like the lighting, but the background is a bit distracting for #1.
I like #2
I agree the first one is not as sharp as I would expect from L glass. I personally think the background has just the right amount of blur for the subject and what the bacground consist of. The second one is not sharp enough either.

that might be because of the wuality reduction for the upload on the internet...if you want the original version (about 9Mb, quality 100% from DPP) please do email me here mecc_3 at hotmail dot com
