I feel for your voting woes Nick. The "Light" challenge description intentionally included the languageâ€Â¦

"Any definition of the word is acceptable for this challenge"

â€Â¦and that should be the judging standard for that aspect of the score. For someone to broadly adjust their voting score because they personally would prefer a more narrow definition smacks of egotism and does little for the photographers participating, unless you include discouragement as a goal.

The image is in clear focus and well lit. However as othes have said, the facial hair is scraggly and distracting and the overall impact is lessened for me.

Maybe I'll also take points off for it being in Black & White...I don't think they should be in the challenge ; )

Color scheme is a little bland. The shot could be well served with a solid color table cloth - maybe a deep red or semi-bright ivory.

Not certain what the message is here. I can guess the intent, but with this material - it should be demonstrated more clearly. Don't like not seeing the right edge of the Bible, it looks like it's sinking.

Too blurry overall. Are you using some sort of filter?

Love the colors, this photo would benefit greatly from a graduated ND filter!
