Good morning from the critique club.

Nice setting impeccably composed with strong lines, rhythm and good textures.
Unfortunately, I think the young person and his shade do break that strong rhythm in the middle of this scene.
I would have suggested to move your character slightly to the left of the composition where light and shade meet. Or maybe having him sit on this window opening.
Also, having your main subject a little less visible would have been an enhancement meaning wise.

Good photographic work,
All the best, JJ

Greetings from the Critique Club

Great shot. Well, I don't know who this is, and I do have a life but that doesn't really enter into it, does it.

Very nice composition, though I would suggest a bit more space between the feather and bottle. The way they run together is a bit distracting. A little more definition would create more distinct elements.

I particularly like the reflection in the bottle, lower left.

Not quite as tight a crop on the left, a little more breathing room.

I do like the fact that it is not a stark white background. The subtle shades of grey work here. In many shots going for the pure white background it can actually hurt the eyes to look at for to long. Your treament tones it down a bit while still creating the tension a black and white photo produces.

The highlight on the bottle is the one real flaw I would point out. I can understand wanting some reflected light to show the shape, but this is bit too much.

As with all critiques, these are my opinions. I hope they are usefull.

JC

I like the feeling this portrays. The angle at which you shot this definitely adds to that mood. Very nicely done!

How would you like a bump? say from an 8 to, oh I don't know... 9? At first vote this image didn't do much for me, but as I look longer at it, I find it to be very good. Your presentation and lighting are very strong on this image. 9 -danny

Nice dramatic scene and good use of contrast for drama.
