Looks like this one might have some benefit from the use of a circular polarizer. The reflections look quite hot on this monitor. I see a lot of tension with the criss-crossed straight lines.

Nice macro, I agree with Eric, I think a polarizer might have helped with the reflections.

Polarizer would have really helped here. Nice shot, Ryan.

Definitely a CP would've helped, but everything else about it is real cool.

Yes, I should have used a polarizer. As to why I didn't, I guess I kind of liked the light reflections. I should have done some with both.

My photography slump is affecting my judgement as well. I'm happy with the comp though. Thanks for the input.
