From the Critique Club
When I saw this entry for the first time my thought was 'What a timely choice of subjects with the movie just released!'
I like how you chose to shoot straight on against the blade rather than down the length. This way you have the whole shot in focus which is a definately a plus! You also did a good job of capturing the depth of the etching with the lighting angles that you chose. At first I was put off by the bluish cast, but considering the subject and story behind the subject, it is actually a very intelligent choice. Those who are not familiar with the story may or may not like the blue cast however.
From a compositional point of view, I both like and dislike the way that you framed this. I like it because you get more detail in what you can see! The lighting and shading in the etching comes out nice as does the bevel on the edge. I dislike the framing mostly because I'm such a big Tolkien fan and would like to be able to translate the Elvish runes.
All in all a very nice shot and one that I would consider turning into a print!

| Some nice detail and well lit. I'm not keen on the magenta/blue hue on the edge of the blade but it's a dynamic composition. |

| Ooooooooooh. Love this. Lighting is great (is it glowing bluish?). Hopefully lots of viewers will know what it is. Nice texture on the blade. Composition is nice. |
