Nice lighting, the small amount of light I had made the strip in my photo a bit yellow on the right, I wanted to make it whiter but it looked overexposed.

Thanks for the comment :) Good luck...

Composition = good. Background = excellent. Border = not needed, it gives it a felling of being too close to the edges. Lighting = right on. Origininality = one of several with the same idea.

I think two of the photographers had almost the same idea, but I prefer the other one, better message. Anyway, what's this? I don't think I've ever seen one of these things here.

What a great idea. I love it. The clarity is excellent and the composition is good. Not crazy about the frame. Gives it a halloween look.
