For me, I think your image needs a bit more light. I like the composition and the elements in your photo, just a bit too dark. It has a nice vintage feel to it.
I really like this image and I think it has much to do with how dark it is and the color tones. I'll guess some people say it's too dark but if it would be any brighter it would loose its charm. The motive and how you frame it is interesting as well. Good original work!
Beautifully moody - I adore this shot. Won't be to the taste of many of the DPC voters because it's dark and broody but to me it's fantastically evocative shot with subtle lighting and colours. It looks like a classical painting - well done (and if you're going for popular shots, unlucky!! :))
It took a minute for me to focus on the subject, but now I see it. I like the simplicity of the shot, I wonder with just a hint more light it would draw the viewer in a little more.
I think this is far too dark. A lighter exposure or increase in post processing would make this much better. There is a small light object at the bottom of the frame that should have been removed.
