Greetings from the Critique Club!
I concur with all of the compliments below!
The first thing that strikes me about this shot are the wonderful tones. You really selected and manipulated your lighting here well. The lights are not too bright for this shot, and the shadows are appropriate.
This lighting augments the unique point of view you've taken for this clip board. Such an angle invites interest and engages me. I really enjoy the fact that I had to think for a second to figure out what this was. The title didn't help me much, but I was able to figure that out too.
Your composition additionally creates this unique point of view, and I like how you've cropped it. You've almost made an abstract image here, but not quite, and that really appeals to me.
To improve the shot, I'm not sure. But you might continue to experiment with point of view and cropping, just to see if it belongs as an abstract or as more of a stock photo. I like it how it is, however. My biggest gripe, and it's not very big, is that I'm not sure what I'm supposed to think here. So though I like the tones, it may be interesting to fiddle with lighting to add more drama or mystique to the shot--and try and transport my thoughts beyond the photo. I defer to lighting because that's what usually does this--for me, anyway.
This is a very nice shot, and I hope you feel pleased with it. I look forward to seeing more of your excellent work in future challenges!
David
