Greetings from the Critique Club: I have been assigned your photo to critique and here are my thoughts:

Personal Reaction: I am a mathematician by training, and a computer science engineer by vocation. I really liked your photo and it appealed to my sense of symmetry and mathematical precision. Well done.

Composition: Normally I am not an advocate for a centered composition but here it works well.

Technicals: Focus is perfect, as is lighting, DoF and so on. Technically, I can suggest no improvements. I am impressed with the clarity of the image given its very long exposure.

Conclusions: A pleasing abstract image, mesmerizing in its simplicity. It resonated well with those who commented, but not quite as well with the general population at DPC. Possibly a stretch for the general notion of perspective?

As always, this is my personal opinion. Feel free to PM me if you’d like further dialog.

Greetings from the Critique Club: I have been assigned your photo to critique and here are my thoughts:

Personal Reaction: Looking at your portfolio, I recognize this is your first challenge. Congratulations on your entry and the courage it took to enter. I remember very well my first time was scary.

Composition: Generally, a centered and symmetrical composition can be improved by placing the subject off center. In this case, the green shade is centered but the bulb is off center a bit. The off-centered bulb helps the composition. You might have a look at this thread for more information: //www.dpchallenge.com/forum.php?action=read&FORUM_THREAD_ID=168935&highlight=composition%20rule%20of%20thirds

Technicals: The focus is fine. The bulb a bit over exposed. I like the way the background disappears. I like the grainy texture but many DPC voters do not.

Conclusions: In the final analysis, the subject doesn’t seem that relevant to the challenge theme. I agree you have shown your subject “from a certain perspective.” But more closely relating the photo to the challenge theme will raise your scores.

As always, this is my personal opinion. Feel free to PM me if you’d like further dialog.
