Comment by LadeeM:
**Greetings from the Critique Club!**

The second thing I do when I take a photo for a challenge (the first is think up something that will fit the challenge) is think of something that will be interesting. You really have something with this interesting chandelier, and it fits the challenge. On the other hand, the composition could use some work. I can imagine how difficult it is to photograph something on your ceiling, but I think a different angle along with less of a centered composition could have helped this out a lot. The shadows (presumably caused by a flash), are so dark that they take away from the interesting curves of the fixture. After all, those curves are what make the object, and they should be enhanced.

Overall, the subject is great, and fits the challenge, focus is good, and it's a clear, clean photo. I would just work with your composition and lighting a little more. Good luck!

I love this shot. I have a similar shot staged in my head that I really want to try, I just don't have all the props I need yet. I would have possibly adjusted the angles a bit so you can't see the edge of the map, but otherwise solid.

High points for originality and the blurriness of the map but would have liked to have seen the drawing compass much sharper. Good job overall!

Different from alot of other perspective shots...makes it more appealing. You've done a nice job in your use of coloring and lighting. Definitely a favorite of mine in this group.
