cool interpretation. Like the light/dark contrast.

bit too much dark frame. Nice silohettes.

interesting interpretation, I'm sure you'll stir up some unkind comments. Well composed but the lighting needs some work. Perhaps a white card/ sheet of paper as a reflector to the right and pointing down would have lightened the shadows to the right of the cross ? You want to keep some of them but lighten them. Good attempt.

Comment:
focus seems a bit soft/ off. Did you try sharpening at all ? The soft focus in general works for the subject but a bit sharper would have really sold it. Light is a bit low/ underexposed as well, even more so than the subject should warrant

Ringing The Changes

Comment:
Thanks to everyone who liked this. It isn't technically a black and white shot, as it went from colour to a final duotone shot, which gives the slight red tint to the 'blacks' I liked this more than a pure B&W, as I got married in a kilt with a lot of maroon, so it seemed appropriate.

I was suprised by the number of people that commented on the lack of anonymity - didn't realise it would be such an issue.

good attempt. Framing is a bit off, with a cluttered background and the bottom of the drawer missing. Maybe a higher angle would have worked. You could have turned the grinder handle a bit so it was in the shot too (pointing to the right ?

Could maybe be a lot closer in and just shoot one of these pushing up - the one in the upper left might have been a good candidate ?

don't like the titled framing very much. It's hard to shoot mist well
