I really like your effort here. For my tastes, this shot is too "hot". Maybe half a stop less exposure would make a difference?

Greetings from the Critique Club.

I like the simplicity of this photo. The lights bring out the texture of the wall and form an interesting shape. But it is lacking a good focal point; the light switch is too low in the frame to be one, leaving the rather vague shape cast by the middle light, which is in a good place but just isn't very interesting.

It also isn't clear to me what message this photo is trying to convey. Red tends to evoke passion and energy, but the vertical line of the wires with the sinuous swath of illumination behind it suggest something closer to harmony or confidence. Stringing the lights diagonally would better suit the red color, or a blue color would better suit the vertical lights.

But on the positive side, the technical aspects of this photo (focus, exposure, etc.) are great. And the negative space on the right which is dark but not completely black works very well.

This works well for me in this "Off-centered challenge", it would also be a good entry in a "Red Challenge".....

Great colors here. I love the shot with all the mismatched chairs all helter skelter.

This is a good picture, I'm giving it a good score for the quality, but I'm just afraid that this will be voted down because of the size, you should use the 640 pixels that we are allowed to use in challenges.

I love this - the vibrant colors, the graininess, even the centered composition is an asset in this case. - 10

Image was composed well, but thought the texture on the posts could have been clearer and cleaner.

In my opinion this may have worked better with less saturation rather than more.
