Greetings from the Critique Club
Great shot. Well, I don't know who this is, and I do have a life but that doesn't really enter into it, does it.
Very nice composition, though I would suggest a bit more space between the feather and bottle. The way they run together is a bit distracting. A little more definition would create more distinct elements.
I particularly like the reflection in the bottle, lower left.
Not quite as tight a crop on the left, a little more breathing room.
I do like the fact that it is not a stark white background. The subtle shades of grey work here. In many shots going for the pure white background it can actually hurt the eyes to look at for to long. Your treament tones it down a bit while still creating the tension a black and white photo produces.
The highlight on the bottle is the one real flaw I would point out. I can understand wanting some reflected light to show the shape, but this is bit too much.
As with all critiques, these are my opinions. I hope they are usefull.

| How would you like a bump? say from an 8 to, oh I don't know... 9? At first vote this image didn't do much for me, but as I look longer at it, I find it to be very good. Your presentation and lighting are very strong on this image. 9 -danny |

| Not bad at all - just a couple of problems for me. Firstly the feather seems to be too much shadowed by the ink bottle, and there seems to be a lack of detail in the rendition of it: the image looks as though it has already been sharpened, so maybe the focus isn't quite there (unless this is a Nikon 5400 shot, in which case it's just one of those weird ones). The other thing is that the cropping has really crowded the image for me - so close to the edge of the bottle, the feather's shadow, almost creates a fake tension about whether the subject will actually fit in the image. A little space around things isn't necessarily 'dead' space. |

| Great contrast, the writing is slanted and therefore, you are a pessimist. |

| Would be better without the script - even the reflection of it in the bottle is not worth it. Not bad. |

"+": I love the composition, the idea, the subject, the shadow, and the photo being B&W is super! :-)
"-": I am not sure about the text. I think it spoils the composition, I would understand the photo without it as well. Maybe if you had shot a vertical shot, with the feather vertically, you wouldn't have needed the text at all. |
