Nice shot Dan, should've scored higher if not for the 2's and 3's, it still puzzles me how one can vote this shot a 2 or a 3..

Well laid out, great lighting effect, texture in wood is very good. An old attic should have this darkened feel to it. Very nicely done. Deserves to be in the ribbon section. Good luck.

This is a very good photo. Now for the bad, Although the lighting is very good one can tell there is more than just the candlelight. Very nice setup

Very nice photo but it looks like the lighting was helped by more than candles :)

The subject is pleasant to look at, a painter with work. The composition is good, there is an atmosphere of heat, beautiful work.

I'm thinking you have a winner here...or at least a ribbon. Excellent job. Kind of looks like Joey Lawrence? Am I right? 10

This is a great shot for the composition, lighting, and mood it creates. The set-up of the composition gives us the feel and impression of a painter who is very poor - the artists who suffers for their art. The candles, the open can of salmon, the winter clothing he has all play into that. Even thought on closer inspection I find some things that could have made the imagery stronger I will give this a higher than average score. Now the things that could have been included in the composition to strengthen the imagery of the starving artists. The candles could have given us a sense of time and a lot of usage if they had loads of burned candle wax running down the sides and dripped onto their holders. As they appear here they are neat and clean. Second, the jeans are dirty which helps with the idea of 'starving artist' but a hole in the knee would have strengthened the imagery better. The tubes of paint look barely used - another element that goes to show they have not been utilized very much with weakens the the thought of this artist's supporting himself solely on his art. If they gave the appearance that they had been heavily employed for the painting being painted here they would be half rolled up, some of the caps would be off, some paint would be visible on the wooden box. The choice of canned food could have played more strongly into the stereotype of the starving artist too. Beans and/or rice are the stereotypical choice portrayed by those having very little money to afford anything else.

IS that a light source from above , painting by candle must be difficult.
