Wow. You certainly have a hotbed of passion there. Shame it's a bit overexposed. Also, would probably be better to pick a pair and home in on them.

Comment by Konador:
i dont think theres enough contrast, there are no dark areas, making the photo look washed out.

This is a really lovely shot and very strong on texture. The reflection is a little weak.
I think the title is, frankly, manipulative.

Welcome! Not a lot of reflection here, but well exposed and it fills the frame. I like the shallow depth of field and blurry background too. Shows promise.

Comment by jsabbarton:
I really like the use of colour in the shot and the unfathomable reflection in the bulb works really well. Composition is great and the feeling of atrophy flows from the image. The dramatic dullness adds to the feeling of the inevitability of decay… Depressing, but it works photographically… (9)

Comment by lmhr:
well being your first submission I would say I like the composition. the reflexion is a bit poor and uninteresting. it seems like it was like that when you found it wich it's understandable but it didn't have to be like that. you could've make modifications or put something in front of it to make it more interesting, no? good effort, tho.
