Greetings from the Critique Club

Composition - Pretty well composed I think actually. Not terribly exciting, but not dull by any means. It could use something a little brighter and more eyecatching methinks. The only thing that I see here that I would change with this composition is the framing. I don't see any advantage to having all the dead space to the right. If you were going to have negative space in this photo, none of it would be on the right or above the lamp. The shade should be on the top right so that it opens up to the "room" which here is just the frame. The flame might be just a pinch bright, but I think it can stay where it is at that intensity and nothing is seriously hurt.
Technical - Whoever's hands these are should be a surgeon. This is a mighty clear photo for being a 1 sec exposure. Good capture in that sense. I'm not sure the painting with light technique is used here totally, at least I'm not getting that from what I see. But what I do see is that you did a great job taking this photo whatever the technique.
Overall - Not bad. Better than my first photo for sure. I think I'd have done a different crop. You might a different crop and see if I'm full of it or if there is some semblance of truth in that. At any rate, not a bad first shot and good luck with your future shots. Any question, feel free to PM me. - Bob |
