*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*
An interesting take that meets the challenge well.
You have come up with an interesting concept to fulfil the challenge, your chosen scene adds further appeal. Your chosen aperture has created a shallow DOF and your focus is softly on the reflection which actually works quite well.
I do find the lamp itself which is in sharp focus rather bright and overpowering it dominates over the much more appealing lower half of the shot. I think a crop excluding the lamp would improve the shot a lot. I've just noticed one of your commenters remarks which seems to concur with what I have just said.
Thanks Marcel for an interesting approach to the challenge, Sid |
