Greetings from the Critique Club.
The challenge was to express the seemingly infinite and this image does it both literally, with the line of candles stretching out of the frame, and symbolically, with the infinity sign. The candles themselves are also reminiscent of some religious and meditation practices so provide yet another tie to the infinite.
However the composition is somewhat lacking. The infinity sign is too close to the bottom of the frame to be an effective center of interest. Instead, the viewer's eye is directed up the line to the first intersection, where it is held by the crossed lines and the different color. But it just isn't that interesting, leaving the viewer unsatisfied.
More importantly, although the candles are fascinating I think some other element is needed to relieve the tedium of the dozens of candles. I don't have a suggestion--I like the lack of other lighting that makes the candlelight more dramatic--but long to see something besides candles. |
