why oh why did this only score a 4.5 ? I mean your photo was black and white. Your subjects are black and white, and the clarity is really nice. GOOD GOING ! I love your imagination
I really like the idea behind it and even like the composition and elements. But as others have suggested, I think it would help a lot with some contrast adjustments.
I love the shadows. Overall, it's a little flat. I'm wondering if some levels and contrast adjustment would have made it "pop". Interesting choice of subjects!
Sharpness and contrast issues are a detriment to the full potential of this image. Composition idea is superior, but seems a little loose and a tighter crop above the rack and a bit below the bottom rung (at least to eliminate the wall baseboard) might be a possiblity.
