Hi from the Critique Club!
Hi Tina;)
I've spent five minutes staring at this image and I still have no idea what it is:)) That's not to say an image always has to be immediately recognisable, but voters tend not to want to work too hard when they are ploughing their way through 300+ images. If I'm struggling to identify it I'm sure others did too and that lowered your score straight away.....Is it your cat's toy? I only think that because of your comments, which the voters couldn't see at the time.
I admire your creativity and use of an ordinary flash light, and in a strange way the image is growing on me, but either the flash light was too powerful, or too close or you over processed the image afterwards, because there are two areas of pink blown highlights. One on the wall and one on top of the feathers. So all detail there has been lost and replaced by pink blobs - unless that is what you intended? But then perversely, there is nice detailing in the feathers on top of the toy!
And the eye in the bottom right-hand corner is freaky:)) Is that your cat? Your image certainly has the curiosity factor, which can sometimes hold viewer's attention.
I think this is your first entry? So well done on jumping in at the deep end;) I suggest that you look at all the entries in this particular challenge and read the comments, because you will learn so much that way.
I for one cannot wait to see your next entry, good luck;)

This picture is overexposed.
You could use a baking paper and put it in front of the flash light to soften it. That way the feather would not be to bright.
Also alternatively you could just use plain light to light up the feather and turn off the flash on the camera.
Good luck with your next entries. |

| Did you use Bibble? You can adjust the highlight recovery or use monocrome recovery to get rid of that pink. |

| Probably too much post processing, or overexposure, has "blown" a great deal of this image. |
