Reading on a Cold Winter Night

Hello! You have requested a comment from the critique club:

First Impression/Opinion: while it definitely fits the challenge, i am at first distracted by the furniture before i even look up to see the light! the shadow on top of the ceiling is cool though! i don\'t see a definite clear subject

Composition: there seems to be two main subjects here that are fighting for attention your wife and the light. a different angle may have helped get one or the other the main focus. The furniture seems to be cluttering up the image also.

Post Processing: i see a yellowish color tint to the image. I don\'t know if that was intentional but i think black and white may have been a better choice. More contrast may have made those shadows give more impact also.

Challenge Criteria: definitely fits the challenge

good luck on your future challenges!

Image meets challenge. I would prefer a closer shot low down of her reading with the light above her head and less room clutter. More impact.

I like this concept, but I think, the contrast would need to be stronger (the shadows darker).

The Altar

Comment by HarveyG:
Wow, the light in this is just majestic, "shining from above." Great composure too. The lack of DOF in the front is worrying. Did you focus only on the cross at the top of the arch? If you shot it in Aperture priority give it at least 2 more stops, maybe 3 and get out that tripod if you didn't already. I use the timer or a small after market qireless remote control to fire the camera to prevent camera shake when pressing that shutter button.
Your eye for detail in this shot was really superb, keep 'em coming Dan.

The foreground is a little out of focus.
