I presume you don't need me to tell you, but this is
definitely. not. too. dark.

Too dark to be the result of an unweighted 18% grey metering, maybe.

I find this a very useful indicator that a picture may bring its own set of norms to its exposition, or define its own parameters. Maybe that's a sign that a picture has established itself as a picture and is no longer a work in progress.

Then again, I could be very wrong about all that, but thanks for the invocation of thoughts about it.

Critique Club Review:

Very Nice Photo.

Focus and depth of field are excellent. Color is done well.

I think you've already heard the major complaint over, and over.

I like the tones of of the lamp, book and pencil. But the rest is just too dark. The rest is so dark that the book and pencil become almost disconnected from the lamp. Together they almost seem to float in space. As a mood or dream piece, this could work. But then I would expect to see a softer focus or warmer background.

For some reason, this almost seems to be a piece about death. Perhaps because of the darkness, or maybe it is just me.

Either way, this is still a very good photo and congratulations on finishing in the top 30.

Just a little too dark for me though. Dark is good, but not quite this dark.

This is nice. It is a bit dark, I wonder what it would look like if you had a flame in the lamp?

This has a nice feel to it - maybe a little dark - but overall great and I think it has the effect you were trying to achieve. Excellent!!

This would have been better if it was just a bit brighter. It's a great pic, nonetheless! Great work.
