Challenge: Single Light Source II (Advanced Editing IV*)
Camera: Canon EOS-350D Rebel XT
Lens: Tamron AF 28-200mm f/3.8-5.6 LD Aspherical IF Super II for Canon
Location: Bedroom
Date: May 30, 2006
Aperture: f/11

 In RawShooter essentials: adjusted tint, fill light, saturation, sharpness. In Photoshop: straighten, USM, resize, USM, save for Web. Then, re-read challenge description and remembered Advanced Editing rules were in place, and that the subject should be dramatically lit by your light source...so this will probably not do so well.

Hey there from the Critique Club

Camera Work/Technical: Your image is nicely focused and the exposure is near flawless. You did a really nice job capturing nice detail on the lamp as well as on the wall.

Lighting: Very nice and very peaceful. The lighting you represented here lends a very moody presentation. I like it.

Composition/Content: For such a simple subject, you produced a very nice composition. You contrasting lights and darks works very, very well together to keep the viewer's eye flowing through the image.

My Opinion: Technically, you have a near flawless image. Your lighting is great and your composition in wonderful. I think your score suffered only because you subject is fairly commonplace. I believe that the voters need more vibrant color most of the time to hand out better scores. Even still, you produced a very nice image. Great work.

Great photo. Simple yet makes me feel at grandma's. Lighting is right on point.

You probably need a bit more effort in challenges on this site. Maybe put the lamp in unique or picturesque surroundings.

Good positional composition. It's a little bit unexciting even though it does meet the challenge.

Good composition, lighting is well exposed. Crisp focus. Image lacks a subject of interest in my opinion
