Comment by zeuszen:
I embrace the idea for this image, enjoy the aesthetics of notes and paper against the black space which surrounds it, appreciate the compositional sense.

The ornate candle holder (despite a potential connotation with the 'baroqueness of opera) , however, vs. the retro 'mode' of the inserted border, exceeds my capacity for appreciation.

What is left, to me, is a potentially satisfying image (with excellent technical attributes, especially via exposure) that has been reduced to a sentimentality.

the steel/metal portion of the background is distracting

I find the background far too distracting. The horse on its own would have made an interesting image.

Good lighting and sharpness on the foreground element. What is letting you down here is your background. The creases dont really help and it looks like the type of fabric that reflects light, and the color doesnt really compliment the subject either. A plain solid color would have put the emphasis on the wooden horse and kept down a lot of the distractions.
