Greetings from the Critique Club: I have been assigned your photo to critique and here are my thoughts:
Personal Reaction: Looking at your portfolio, I recognize this is your first challenge. Congratulations on your entry and the courage it took to enter. I remember very well my first time was scary.
Composition: Generally, a centered and symmetrical composition can be improved by placing the subject off center. In this case, the green shade is centered but the bulb is off center a bit. The off-centered bulb helps the composition. You might have a look at this thread for more information: //www.dpchallenge.com/forum.php?action=read&FORUM_THREAD_ID=168935&highlight=composition%20rule%20of%20thirds
Technicals: The focus is fine. The bulb a bit over exposed. I like the way the background disappears. I like the grainy texture but many DPC voters do not.
Conclusions: In the final analysis, the subject doesnât seem that relevant to the challenge theme. I agree you have shown your subject âfrom a certain perspective.â But more closely relating the photo to the challenge theme will raise your scores.
As always, this is my personal opinion. Feel free to PM me if youâd like further dialog.

| I think you missed the point of the challenge, that is to use perpective, a sense of depth, distance and the relationship of objects near and far, to create a sense of drama. This photo is more of a two-dimensional abstract. |
