Has a nice soft look to it with the candle light.

Some parts of the photo look washed. But the concept is very good. Also, the composition. The only thing to fix is the washed part.

I like the setup, but the lighting comes across sort of red-orange. A darker setup would make it much more dramatic.

composition looks too sterile and synthetic. the noise in the picture (if not intentional) could be reduced by freely available software.

This is a great idea. For me, there are a few problems that really hurt this shot. The black cloth is too much - goes up too high on the map, and there is too much of it visible. In addition, it hides the base of the lamp. The skull is dead-on to the camera (probably would be better at an angle), and the proportions between the skull and lamp are too close in size. I like the lighting and antique look. My wife says the lamp is too fancy when compared to the rest of the shot.

Great nostalgia in this shot. Well done.

Not enough tonal range at the low end

I'd like to see the map make up the whole of the background instead of the material the lamp is sitting on. Otherwise it's very good.
