nice idea, makes a very striking and colourful image. sorry cant offer serious critique. however, it does look extremely bright but that could be my monitor.

I Like this, nice and colourful looks sharp and no distracting background. This would have done well in a recent photo comp that I entered with the title 'Patterns'. Anyway back to your image, the only thing that I would have done was to spend a little more time getting the distances between the scissor handles equal.

Good creative shot here. i agree with Barry re placing of scissors. looks a touch hot to me, a bit of bleeding going on in the brighter colours. I'm on the works PC so this is fairly good on density..this would go well with my shot of bowls!!! Fabulous job Mate

EY UP Jack,
boy this one really jumps out at yer...
I like the arrangement,love the colours but the edges of some look really blocky to me (maybe my screen)and the light green looks a bit blown out to me....

It has a real Japaneesy (is that a word)feel to it,that kind of bright/colourful/wacky/cartoony vibe that they love...
