Hello from the Critique Club:

Well, my first question is... what is it? My second question is, does it really matter what it is? Then I read the title, and realize what it is and feel silly. lol. I have to say, this picture is kinda freaky, in a good way. Is that smoke swirling around the kitchen light?

I am so glad that the brightness of the lightbulb isn't too overwhelming, and you did well in that face, which means I can view the photo for a long time without going crazy or rubbing my eyes.

As somebody else said, this doesn't really convey a kitchen to me, which is probably why your score doesn't really seem too high. I am a huge fan of abstracts.

Now, things I really like. I love how the lightbulb isn't centered, I love the totally black corners, and I love the swirling lines/smoke around the light, you surely captured that well.
Good luck in the upcoming challenges :)

It's a bit abstract for the challenge, in my opinion.

Clever and interesting. Looks like the moon with eerie clouds around it. Good reminder to look at everything from every angle when searching for creativity.

Really nice abstract. I like it very much. Good swirlies.

The textures in the light shade give this photo a lot of impact. The light is not blown out at all, great capture.

Doesn't really convey "kitchen" to me.

A little flat, but the swirls are a nice feature.
