Doesn't work for me also.. Too grainy..

Greetings from the Critique Club

I like the composition. Good pose. The negative space at the top works well. The noise adds to the mood. The color doesn't seem quite right, and the overexposed candles, although essential to the message, are somewhat distracting. I'm not sure what to think of the exaggerated hands. I can't really say I like it, but it does certainly emphasize the subject of the photo, so I guess I'll commend your innovative use of wide angle.

Overall, it's difficult to easily tell what the photo is about; you have to look closely. That isn't necessarily bad, but here it doesn't really work for me.

a little too pixelated in the lowlight

I think this would have been better with a lower ISO and longer exposure.

Nice, except the candles are too distracting, next time try and get them out of the shot.

I LOVE THE GRAIN EFFECT IT BRINGS FEELING TO THE PHOTO

love your picture...good luck

Nice symmetry.

A bit too grainy, perhaps a lower iso and longer exposure? Concept and framing is great.

I suspect the use of Neat Image was slightly abused. Otherwise a great idea.

beautiful, a little grainy, but a great photo never the less

I like the "triangular" composition very much, with the negative space above. A bit grainy, but I don't mind that.

a bit too grainy, perhaps should crop into a square, as there is a little bit too much negative space on top (not much, perhaps a 1/4 inch)

Great composition, I also lik ethe grain which rarely works well. The candles are very much overexposed though.

for me, your image would be more powerful if cropped off the top and turned into more of a horizontal. Also, keeping all four candles within the frame rather than having them cut off. I also wonder how this would look in black and white - might help with the grain, unless you're going for that look.

"help me my unbelief"...nice capture.

the imagery is is great, but the top could be a bit brighter
