Very nice image. However, where is the "one thing" you took into the room with your camera. 5

I am not a big flower fan....but,

This is really appealling. Nice comp, great movement, nice lines, great texture, the top of the spirally thng is a bit blown, and the bottom of the stalk of the brown thing is a bit too black, love the crispness, good light, I just like this.

It looks like there are some blown highlights in the yellows and on the curly thing. The compostion doesn't do anything for me. 5

Hello from the Critique Club, I'm Jon Rowe, and I will be looking at your image today :)

I really like the composition of this image, it brings the eyes in to the well focused end of stick, back out, to the sides, and back in from the top. very effective use of space and lines.

the dodging and burning you did on the ashes is great, and you did a good job of not overblowing them, which can be hard sometimes w/ the exposure of DorB.

the only nitpic i see is the highlight blowouts in the flames, specifically in the top of the image. possibly a ND filter or faster shutter speed could fix this, just mess around with it.

regardless, this is a very nice image, and a great score. keep up the good work, and keep shooting.

good luck on your future challenges:)
-Jon Rowe
