Critique Club Review:

Meets challenge well. Good focus, though had you used a shallow depth of field to isolate the subject from the background, it might have helped a bit. The texture in the background is OK. But, if you look to the lower left, the tecture on the wall starts getting emphasized by the lighting angle. The pattern is fine, but once it starts going 3-D it starts to compete with the silhouette.

I like the highlite on the shoulder closest to the camera. This really helps make this image. It provides a shape to the shoulder, that otherwise would have been a blob.

The only other problem I see is the top of the hat disappears into the darkness. The candle-light really works and makes this composition. Any other source would not have worked so well. Perhaps raising the candle a bit, or a slightly different angle to get the tip of the hat out of the darkness. The brightness is about as bright as you dare go. Any brighter and the lightest areas would have burned out.

Nice texture in the background. It wouldn't look as good if not for it.
