This picture was taken at around 10pm-12am in downtown Santa Barbara, California. At first glance it may appear to be the moon with three leaves juxtaposed infront of it, but in reality it is a light post with a light ball that is wrapped in a metal spiral with three leaves coming off of it... it is supposed to be a grape vine.

This shot is too small. Size really effects the power of the image. I think this would have been reallly nice, but I can't see the details to be sure. 6
Looks good but.. You need to use the maximum size of 640 pixels, my screen is 1280 pixels wide and you photo is 194 pixels - a bit over 10% of my screen.
I like this shot...but I wish it were a larger size so that I could comment on some of the more technical aspects. I think that if you submit to a larger size you'll find that you score better! Good positioning and interesting subject though...great lighting.
Pictures this size don't generally fare well. This would have been pretty good, but....
Second pass: Bumping up. It was a good attempt. Really interesting. :)
My guess is that the mojority of voters here will not score this image high or at all based on two reasons. (1) image size (2) because it is black and white.
I like small images and I like B&W images so if I am right your in luck....I like all the design elements in this imige, three sigments of different sizes as defined by the two vertical lines, three things that look like leafs in the center, a stronge white ciricle holding the dark detail together. The image reminds me of the art deco style of art of the past century... 8 Nice, different, and precious.
not a bad concept by any means, but the light appears to be a bit overexposed and bleeding blue fringe onto the black leaf silhouettes. Exposing slightly less and/or desaturating the final image would help alleviate these kinds of problems.
You're probably going to get hammered for submitting a small image. That doesn't actually bother me, so I'm not docking points. I do like the silhouettes and the balance, but I there is just enough of the outer frame visible to make me wish it were better lit so I could see more of the details, which also seem interesting.
