Good composition, but would have benefitted from slightly more light... Seems like the ISO was bumpbed beyond what the camera could deliver.

I'm having trouble figuring out why you would enter an image at so much smaller than the resolution allowed by rules, and use a huge border to make up the difference.

The bright object in the frame's left is extremely distracting to me, and seems to counter the rest of the image's feel.

Insanity... Darkness Within

Aesthetically I'd like to see the image sharper. The grains are fine, but the image just isn't sharp. On the other hand. I think this is very creative, so I'll give you bonus points there.

You did a nice job selecting the border - compliments the photo nicely which is rare.

Seems out of focus, and the grains are enough to distract me from the scene.

Thank you all so much for the comments, and of course the votes! I almost didn't enter this as I was most excited about my Open Challenge entry which was shot the same evening. Glad I didn't let it pass! I really feel that this image preserved what I experienced that night, and it's very rewarding to see that others could enjoy it with me.

Keep pursuing this path - you've show a very unique style with this one that I would love to see more of. Maybe a few refinements could be made, but I believe that this image's composition and concet stand above minor technical flaws. Great work!

This is one of the few times I didn't make it to 100% of the images... Obviously I'm being punished for that. Lately I've really been appreciating simple compositions, and this is one of them. This image is so clean and crisp I can almost smell a faint residue of wine while viewing it. Not sure why it didn't place higher - this is outstanding work as always.

Don't get discouraged - this was a good concept. I'd suggest that you return to the subject and shoot a study set taking into account the comments you recieved. There's no doubt it's a good subject - just needs some work :)
