I like it! I would like it even more if the diagonal on the blinds was a lot stronger.. but that's just my personal taste.. I love strong angles... good shot! - jmsetzler
Great use of shadows. I think if the light on the flowers had been a little more bright, so that the red really showed, it would have been a little more effective. I like it as it is, though. Nice job.
An excellent concept, very nicely done. I even like the sun blooming on the blinds and burning out the paper on the desk. If I were to make any suggestions at all, it would be to expose about one stop lighter, let the outside world burn some and pick up a little more detail in the flowers and the vase. If it wern't for the restraints of the composition you could have easily done some local manipulation, it looks like there's enough data in the shadows.
Very interesting shot. This shadow challenge created some difficult photos to suggest/comment. I think I would have liked seeing the flowers (I think they are red, maybe) and lose the magazine, no help. Very artsy, but dark. Photo 7 Creativity 7 Shadows 8 total 7
