This is very interesting when you look at it in the thumbnail, makes you wonder, "What the heck is that?" Which is good, grabs my attention. But once I'm here it's wanting, the clarity is undefined in the overall shot and the light in the back gets lost or is it coming from underneath? I can't really tell. Maybe a more powerful spotlight to define it more from behind and a bit more sharpness and this would have really punched up the shot for me. I started with a 3 the first time through but am going to bump up to a 5 because it does grow on you :)
Hmm. I think the subject is interesting, I also like the lighting, gives the whole image depth. Background color sets the piece off nicely. Only thing I find myself doing is trying to figure out if there is anything on the face of the object, instead of looking at the image as a whole. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing, heh. I really like it though. 7
I like the lighting behind the object and the gradation in the background. Highlights near the top of the object are a tad harsh. Generally a nice shot.
