Greetings from the Critique Club
First off, congrats on fourth place!

This is a hard critique because there's basically nothing wrong with this image. It works as a great abstract with wonderful deep blue reflectoins and great lines that break up the image and give it some depth. It seems, perhaps, a tad overshapened... but that may just be me trying to find a flaw :)

Ach, I give up! Great shot --- well worth your fourth highest score ever (w00t!)!

Keep it up -- your stuff rocks :)

If you have any questions or comments feel free to PM me.

The background is a little bit dark but I really like the tittle of the lantern!

I love your shot. One of the most interesting in the challenge. I hope you do as well as IMO you should with this entry. Great job.

After reviewing the photos again, I am upping my score on this. It is most certainly high contrast and the graphic sense of it is great. It has a geometric edge to it which I find very suitable to the black and white.

Goodness, well there's quite the contrast here all over the place. The faceless figure is a bit disconcerting but nonetheless I think the focus is good, nice use of lights and the two clear yet seperate interest points is a nice change. I think my only gripe is that I can't, for the life of me, figure out what is on the desk next to that main mannequin. It seems very busy and I think a lot of detail about it has been lost, which if the details of it aren't important then the item itself probably isn't important and thus is just clutter. Other than that I like the composition and the use of black & white - which seems to be many people's idea of instant high contrast - actually works here. Nicely done. I gave a 7.
