Greetings from the Critique Club!

Conclusion: I feel the photo is not really a fit for painting with light. It might be but the association is not obvious. I dont think the shutter speed needed to be so much for this setup. The red color is almost burnt out. Also, I believe you used tungsten light and the yellow/warm tint is very much visible. Maybe some color balance in post-processing could have helped.

The rule is simple - when the subject is not very unique (like in this case), you really need to do something different in terms of capture angle and post-processing to make your image different from regular shots. Overall this is an average composition. Wish you good-luck and better scores for future submissons. You have got some real good piece of equipment which when complimented with 'interesting' subject can do wonders.

I'm by no means expert in area of photography. My comments are purely based on my limited understanding of technology and art behind digital photography. Apart from doing detailed evaluation of your submission, my intent is to learn different styles of photography by critically evaluating selective submissions. If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via email or PM.

Wish you a great day!

This is done probably from a fixed light source, not a moving one.
