    Sound System is a cool idea, as is surveillance system.
    But I think you need more of sound system / surveillance
    system in the pictures to make'em say system out loud.

    I like the minimalist style (and stylishness) and the lighting of your photographs a lot. thumb.gif However, the light picture doesn't say system at all to me. For the challenge, I agree with Manfr3d's comments. The sound system and security system ideas are really great. clap.gifclap.gifclap.gif However, for me, one speaker does not a system make. And I thought that the picture of the security equipment was simply a photo of a lamp on a wall. Even if I had understood it, one piece of equipment doesn't represent a system to me. You have some excellent ideas for this challenge, which is going to be really hard. Good luck!!

    I like the ideas, especially since I had the sound system as an idea as well. I agree with Virginia and Manfr3d. Though the speaker is a great shot, one speaker does not represent a system.

    This is going to be an interesting challenge!

    15524779-Ti.gif I like the style of your shots. Need a bit more to convey the stero system.

    I can see some system in your 'light system', that is, in the way you cropped the image. all 3 images make me think "thing" or something like that. the systems you think of are very interesting, good luck!

    All three are rather bland pics, but they do seem to hit the theme. I would reshoot which ever one you decide on

    Bland? I prefer simplistic. It's a style like a single tree on a hilltop.

    I like them. Perhaps it's a bit of a stretch to call them systems, but the important thing is to end up with a good image.
