The Ring

Greetings from Critique Club

First, I should say that I like this photo. I think the minimalism is really good, and I love how you lit the shot, using the two pen lights. It is sort of a low cost and effective way for lighting small objects, and you have demonstrated how it works well.

A few critiques about your image. The table and the ring are a little rough. Had they been very smooth I think this would have scored better. Also, I can see the edge of the table in the upper third of the photo. My monitor is set to the brightest I can get it, so if yours is not, I can understand why you may not have seen it. While this is basic editing, and you cannot spot edit, playing with the curves or levels in Photoshop may have minimized it. That being said, I don't think it effected your score.

Overall though, I think its a good photo (I gave it a 6 during voting), and you got a favorite for it, so I think its a successful shot.

Hahah... I have all of the bunny suicides books... they are awesome. Andy Riley also does a series called Do It Yourself Dentistry, and 1000 lies to tell small kids.

I like everything about this shot except that it was taken indoors. The black and white conversion is great, the DOF is perfect, focus and sharpness are good, but this belongs on a green and not on a carpet. 6 from me, but would have been higher if it was in a more golf like setting.
