Greetings from the critique club!
I very much enjoy the idea you have here, it is an interesting take on a relatively famous objoect(liquid i guess:) I feel your use of sepia does work well with the time period you are representing, but it doesnt make the photo pop as it might otherwise. perhaps an old western-y background may have spiced the photo up, even if it only consisted of a few breyer horses or cowboy silhouette cutouts(this may be a bit of a corny way to go with, but its different, as is your photo).
another thing that may have boosted this image would have been to gain more detail in the flame. it seems rather bland, and considering the lack of intricate detail throughout this image, it may have skyrocketed its impact dramatically(imo, of course).
in conclusion;
nice sepia, but it isnt working to its full potential
background is a bit bland, give it more life
more detail in the flame would be awesome next time to add the intricate feel every photo needs |
