Comment by dtremain:
Normally, this would get a negative comment for having nothing in focus. But you've capture a hurried feel here. Not sure whether the gate is a good idea or bad, but the house hidden in the right edge doesn't look all that hospitable. To me, it does convey a sense of urgency to get through the stone gate.

A "Light" on white...Harharhar

Critique Club Review:

Color Saturation and Hue: Colors and Hues are realistic, nothing is over saturated.

Brightness and contrast: Brightness is well done, I might have liked a little more contrast.

Focus and depth of field: Focus is a little soft, but appears to be intentional and works well in this image. Glass is normally perceived as hard, and this gives it a softer feel. Depth of field is hard to judge, due to the overall softness, yet it also works well here. Had the printing on the barrel of the bulb, or the threads at the bottom been in sharp focus, they would have stolen the attention from the subject.

Subjective: Very punny... A fairly obvious pun, given the subject of the theme. Reading the photographer's comments, it appears that not a whole lot went into this; yet more may have come out of it than the photographer intended. Had it been titled "Light on White", some gallery might pick it up for display.

i so like this blur effect, but i think its taking away more then its adding to the photo. perhaps if the gate was still clear, and the blur was coming form it it would feel different to me

Nicely done. Looks as if there's a strong wind going through the gate.
