 I have cut the background but I have NOT removed and put the plane on other white background... instead I used brightness and contrast to make the original image background white and then I gave the light affect on top of the whole thing. I stayed within advance editing rules for this one :)

Hey there from the Critique Club

Camera Work/Technical: Great idea. As Abstract mentioned, I think your overall score suffered a good deal from your selective focus. Keeping the entire subject in focus would have added a great deal of interest, as well as a point to pull the eye further into the image.

Lighting: Very nice use of lighting to nicely isolate your subject. I like the contrast you achieved, as well as the nice, even lighting that was left on your subject.

Composition/Content: Looking through your profile, this capture fits very will into your overall minimalistic style. This is one of my favorites, and your minimalism works to generate a lot if interest.

My Opinion: I like it, and I think that the score is far low on this entry, even with the focus issue. With greater depth of field, this one surely would have scored higher. Even still, nice work in creatively meeting the challenge.

Thank you for the opportunity to provide a critique on your entry,
Eric

I like the lighting and negative space but the subject is somewhat bland and the focus could have been better.

Nice DOF and composition. I like the use of negative space, and the border works well in this image.

like this minimalistic approach.
the out-of-focus tip does not help the shot though.
