great idea - like the dramatic lighting. IMO the hot spot reflection is distracting - 6

i am not a fan of seeing women tied up, but that's just a personal thing...I think the lighting is a little strange here...perhaps too many shadows on the face and that washed out area on the wall are distractions. I like your choice to go b and w 6

good idea! This is exactly the sort of bits and pieces you will find in kids pockets.

Very nice, I like the composition. I wish there were a little more DOF, I'd like to see everything in his hands in focus.

Hello from the Critique Club....

Hi Rob,
This is a very nice shot. You have done well with the lighting and exposure and your post processing seems spot on. You have not overdone the editing.

I think that the overall score is dissapointing. Perhaps this is because the glass chess set is a popular choice in these challenges and although this is a great shot it offers not much that is new.

I think that this photo is a case of good but not quite there and could be improved a little.
I would maybe try a less cluttered scene, it has the appearance of being quite busy and the main problem for the viewer is the lack of a focal point. The overall scene seems to slope a little to the left which is a distraction. Maybe it's a personal thing but I would have liked to have seen this lit in blue. (Not sure why, just the green reminds me of Jello and blue would maybe feel more like glass)

Overall a great photo and good idea for the challenge.

Chris
