*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*
An appealing image that meets the challenge.
What lovely vibrant colours this glass lamp, most unusual and very appealing. It looks as though you have used on camera flash? I can't help but feeling how those lovely colours would have looked with backlighting, I would love to have seen how that looked, I suspect it could have been quite stunning. As it is, the lighting has caused hotspots on the surface here which have blown out amongst the surrounding colours which is a shame because for me it mars the end result.
I would also have liked to have seen the shape of the lamp if it is as beautiful as the glass it could have been good to have taken this as an abstract with the light coming through it and parts of it in soft focus, ooh, I'm getting excited just thinking about it!
I scored your image a 7 during the challenge but on this closer look I would probably have deducted a point for the flash blowouts. Anyway, thanks for your submission and apologies for the delayed critique, as they say, 'better late than never', or at least I hope it is, Sid |
