Some context and better light may have gotten you something higher than the 3 I'm giving this, because at least they are on subject. Thanks for the generous vote of "3". I resent your comment of "artlessly flash lit". Who are you to say such a thing? Oh, yeah. I just looked at your portfolio and I see what a genuine artist you are.

Richard, you make it hard for people to like you. I never attacked you as a photographer...then you say this about me:

"Who are you to say such a thing? Oh, yeah. I just looked at your portfolio and I see what a genuine artist you are."

Not that I need to defend my opinion of this image, but I do have an actual advanced degree and have had my work exhibited internationally.

This is a bad photograph, just my opinion and I can see from the other low votes I was not alone in my thinking. At least I told you why I gave this image a 3. I admire much of your photography, I really do. This was not one of the images. I never said anything about you personally and am sorry you felt the need to go after me as a photographer, and not just my photographs.

Ha! That might as well be me! It scares me that I know interior was shot inside a JoAnns, the Big Twist yarn gave that away...it's a sickness.

Ah! Great kitty portrait! I had a cat who looked just like Lulu. She was quite the little diva...tiny cat with a giant attitude.

This is quite nice...the light is lovely, and the touch of grain reminds me of a film image.

3 of us learned something while looking at this photograph. That's great! I'd call that a success for sure.

I think I get it...but if you're going to think creatively/shoehorn, have a better B&W conversion than what's going on here. I have a hard time getting past flat. 3

The elements are there...a monkey, a calendar. For me it fails as a still life. The black backgound is dull but the absence of beatiful light is what kills it imo...and the ladder, I don't get the ladder.
