I don't know why, but it makes me think of early sixties science fiction! I like it without knowing why.

Would have been better without the frame. Cuts too much of your subject for no good visual reason. I like the lighting and the composition.

Its ok, but doesn't seem to convey any movement. The back lighting and whiteout at the top is unfortuneate. But I see what you were going for and points for that!

I like it even better coming back to it.

Good intensity, nicely framed. The monochromatic treatment makes it happen.

Burning the Midnight Oil

very well composed but the lighting could be better balanced. The book is lost at the bottom, and so reduces the impact of a nicely composed triplicate subject.

A well composed shot. Strong and stark image, conveying a feeling of brooding power.

While I like all the elements of the picture, (the subject, the arrangement, the textures, the monochrome treatment), here is what I think detracts from the whole. If you draw a line down the center, top to bottom, the right half has no real interest. It is just a continuation of elements from the left, and doesn't "become" a negative space. Having all the interest of the subject weighted to the left usually effects one's subconscious as darker, or awry, or discordant. A mental diconnect. This effect does not seem appropriate to the subject, and to my eye, detracts from the overall effectiveness of the picture. A different cropping might make all the difference.
