 shadows and light dancing round, creating a swirl round the central tunnel.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

I can see where you were headed here, and as an abstract macro it's fun to look at and figure out what's going on. However in a shadows challenge, it just won't cut it. The composition and lighting are ok (and your shoot notes made me laugh, I've often used similar home-brewed setups in the past). I think you could have taken this idea a little further and kept in mind that shadows (the more obvious the better) are what goes over well here.

Hope this critique has been useful, feel free to PM me with any questions.

Susan

...love the swirl of this. I keep expecting it to start moving...beautiful tones too.

Great photo, but I'm having difficulty understanding the "shadow" in it, and I know what a centerlock is.

Sorry, but I have no clue what I am looking at. It isn't interesting, it isn't eye-candy. I see nothing that I can identify as "shadows". There may possibly BE shadows, but you failed to communicate this to me (and I really did try to make sense of this thing). 4.

Very cool almost abstract photo with great tones and just the right amount of motion blur. I would print this for sure if I were you.

It almost looks like the phases of the moon. I like it. Nice abstract!
