A nice revisit of the famous original.

Perhaps a little bit more ambient light to define the perimeter of your composition would have been an improvement, since as it is the periphery is quite dark. Overall a good image with a lot of pop. 7

Greetings from the Critique Club!!!

I saw the request in the forums and noticed no one was nice enough to leave you a critique. So I figured I give you a freebee.

Initial Impact: Ohh nice this is different.

Focus: Crystal clear focus evrything seems to be nice and crisp.

Color: I feel that using black and white works well with this paticular shot. I can't say without seeing the color version but I feel that the color version would have had too many colors. Making it too busey to work wit this paticular composition.

Style and technique: I enjoy the use of negative space. I myself very seldom manage to get it to work to my liking. In this case however I think you nailed it.

Overall:

This is not a bad shot I like the use of negative space. However I feelt dissapointed. With a title of shadows copy. I expected to see a shadow. While interesting and well shot. It does not seem to fullfill it's promise. I see the puppets and hands but it does not deliver the action... Well I hope this helps at least a little. I look farward to seeing some more of these cool shots in the future.

Since the leave are framing the sign I would have cloned them over the post in the bottom right. 7

IMO - focus on the foreground would have been more effective. 7

Comment by kearock:
The capture of the sparks is nice, but the composition is a little dull. Would perhaps be more interesting if the lighter weren't centered in the frame.

I like this one even better than the other one. The elevated angle really works well. A definite 10. Good luck!

The composition is very strong, and I like the theme of the picture. For me I would have prefered a slightly deeper DOF to get all thre in focus.
