Hi Amanda, ditto JulietNN the black line through it killed it for me. Is your monitor brightness too low so you didn't notice it during PP? (It got a 6, possibly 8 without the line)

ETA: Try this online monitor calibration tool, not perfect but the price is right :)

Ag Amanda, jou kleure is altyd so reg.
Dit was een van my top 3.
Herhinner my aan die gevoel in my ouma se huis, donker, oud en statig.
Dankie.

Nice rim lighting on this, I am sure people have said something about the colour though, maybe doing a layer in black and white and just reducing op, to take a slight hint of the colour out, not much just a little. But the biggest problem you have is that thick solid black line running through it, a shame 5

Interesting. I can give leeway from the amount of black, but I imagine many are going to DNMC you.

I think it is a nice photo, but I am not sure that it follows the criteria.

"Take a photo in which the background is black and the subject is predominately a black as well."

I feel that this does not meet the criteria based on the wording. The subject should have been black before any changes.
