Hi Eric,

Greetings from the Critique Club...

Congrats on your personal best with a top half finish. Clearly meets the challenge in "Hidden Faces"

I agree with your decision to rotate the frame so the face is clear to the voters -- even though it gives an off-balance sense with the other items in the frame. Good sense of fun as well.

While the photo meets the challenge well, it needs to be stronger compositionally and lighting wise to keep my interest outside of a challenge.

Please pm me with any questions or comments. I hope this was helpful

Regards,
Theresa

Hot spots from the copper table are way to distracting along with all the stuff in the background.

The glare is a bit distracting, but this was a nice idea. I might have tried covering or blocking the background.
