I like the lighting and the dark background. The lighting highlights the nice tones and markings of the wood. The glare on the glass could be improved upon, maybe by the light source being a little further away. Overall this is nice and I like it. Good luck in the challenge. Grayce :-)
Great idea. I saw this pic and the first thing I thought is "I'd have backlit this one" to accent the edges so it isn't blended right into the backdrop. I would have kept the top light where it is though, it looks nice there. Good Luck - Inspzil
If you're not going with 1/3s crop it evenly. Beautiful photo. Very clear of the subject. Great subject. The techs are right on. Would of liked it just a little lighter so I could enjoy more of the beautiful wood. The wook adds to it. It is a beautiful piece of technology that is relevant today, and still in use without any improvement needed on it. Great shot. Wish it were perfect cause it is so great. PTL
Great subject for the photo. What is the explanation for the significant color shift in the upper right corner of the barometer? It's distracting, unfortunately. There is also a very noticeable blue tint to the photo. It should be possible to clean it up a little more.
