Good. Well exposed, except for the blown out window...can't help that, I guess. I love the subject...shelves of books, and wood floors...love it.

Nice take on the challenge. Good color, texture and pattern. A bit over-exposed in spots.

Critique Club,
This sure meets the challenge, and is very interesting as an abstract. The coloring works well for this, but on a personal note, I'm not sure I like the graininess of it.
The tonality is very good, with lots of variable subtlities. The lines are excellent and lead the eyes inward. Repititious shapes are appealing too.

Hi Justine, I don't see the grain or artifacts, but I didn't see it in my own submission either, and others did, so I guess I'm not much help in that department.
What I like about this is that it is an ordinary, everyday kind of subject, that when examined more closely, as in this image, it highlights the curves and turns.
I like the light and shadows, how the flat part is in shadow. I think a bit more contrast might be nice, but then, the illusive graininess would be highlighted too, I suppose.
This certainly meets the perspective challenge, and the perspective is interesting.
The dof could be improved to satisfy those who want everything in focus. It's all personal taste. It's fine as is for me.
Overall...It's not a compelling image. Most of what you see can be seen in a glance, without inviting deeper study. It would be a good one to play around with it PS just for fun to see what you can come up with. Has potential for a fun abstract...of course not here though...lol
Regards,

Grayce

Sorry about the grain everyone...I don't see it at all. Geeeeeeee....I don't know what to do. I've calibrated my monitor. Thanks for all the comments. Much appreciated! I'd never know about the graininess if not for you all.

I like how you incorporated the human limb, into the tree limbs. Very creative approach.

I like your perspective, and the trees have a beautifully aged appearance. It reminds me of one of my favorite places on earth...the Bronx Zoo. www.wcs.org. Nice comp, well exposed, good choice of b & w. Good luck!
