Taken in my study in candlelight. Darkness allows you to see your own light within. This is my first entry, and I look forward to learning from the work of and feedback from others on this site.

I scored this a 7. I think that if there was a tad more light and the focus was a bit sharper it would have scored much higher. Beautiful composition and mood.
Would have been better with sharper contrast. And it does not really represents darkness.... I'd tend to think buddha to be light in darkness (the focus is light...and not darkness). Good try though. 5.
Another decent twise on the all black background with a small lighted object in the frame. This is an excellent way to convey a sense of darkness and a lot of photographers rightly chose to use the technique.
Focus seems overly soft and you might have considered blocking the light source from the composition. It is a good use of the rule of thirds.
I like the properties of the statue's surface. It's shiny on some parts and has a rusty look in others. Maybe you could have lit the lower part as well? 6.
