Hi and greetings from the CC. Good choice for your ISO setting, for a dark image there is no visible noise that I can see, I do like that you used 'colored' light I think that was a good and creative idea. And your light choices is certainly IMO where the interest of your shot lies. The reflection of the red and the shadow of the blue are points of interest to me. I would of prefered if the red on bottom was not cropped so tightly. I think technically this shot is well done, I am wishing for a bit more of a wow with perhaps the composition, the sword on a more intense diagonal perhaps making it look like it is 'stuck' into something? May have helped. My other more critical comment is about subject choice, i think it is good to ask does this subject have a wide or limited interest to people? Just a thought, good work and happy shooting!

Hi greetings from the CC, I will start with saying that your title works very well. I am wondering if you were to have set your ISO to 100 if you would lf a got a little less noise in the shot (tho it is not a lot of noise this would of helped it IMO). My second consideration would be the compostion I feel aside from the image being a bit too 'central' it is also a bit too tightly cropped, this does not bother me quite as much on the bottom, tho I would likie to see a bit more room on the top. The lighting while leaving the image slightly dark, does not leave it so dark that details are obscured which is good. I think you have done well to fit topic, i.e paint with light. Keep up the good work and happy shooting!

Old Boots

Greetings from the CC, a wonderful shot, the black bachground helps the viewer to focus their attn on the lighted area, I like that you only did one shoe, again forcing us to notice the detail here. The composition of the second shoe is well done, making for a relaxed posture supporting the 'old' title. The lighting too is very well done, it is soft yet not dark, no details are obscured by dark. My only small criticism (being that I am suppose to critique : )) would be the choice generally of 'boots' generally a non-emotional subject matter, I think in this challenge it works because it keeps the focus on the 'light' but I think it is always important consider the actual appeal and emotional impact potential of a subject. Again here I think a subtle subject helps viewer to focus, but just a thought.
Very well done technically, keep shooting!!

I am not sure what this is to be honest but it's great! My guess is water in a river with a rock and trees with some fabulous adjustments and qonderful light, hope it gets a ribbon.
