questions: why photograph a broken picnic table? furthermore, why photograph a broken picnic table at night? furtherfurthermore, why photograph a broken picnic table at night with a flash? this picture is wholly unappealing - there is nothing here but lack of technique and attraction, which is why i scored it so low. sorry.
Hi. IMO, there is too much black in the top portion. I think another angle that includes more table, or maybe a long exposure shot without a flash could help.
Almost good use of the flash. The front of the bench got overexposed and detailless, but the black background fits the white subject. The portrait is a brave crop, but works better than the landscape would.
