There is some kind of glare in the picture, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

Nice subject matter, but the reflections in the glass are very distracting.

Nice shot, neat piano, but the table or what ever that is in the lower left corner is a killer. Nice color and lighting though.

Needs better focus and light to bring out the tones of the piano.

Taken through a glass window at a museum of some sort? Looks like reflections that are making your shot look ghostly. Perhaps a different angle would have led to less light reflecting?

Was this shot though a window? It seems to have some strange reflections in it.

Image looks washed out and over exposed. Did you shoot it through glass? There seem to be some odd flares/reflections there.

Hello from the Critique Club!

I like the concept behind this image; a take on the Chicken and the Egg conundrum. The red background is used well to bring out the green of the apple and I quite like the reflection of the seed slice on the apple itself.

Having said that, the execution has let the image down: The composition doesn̢۪t really work as the apple is too dominant and takes up most of the image, with the seed slice being squeezed almost out of he image, despite its importance in the context of the image. I would have loved to have seen more of the slices - using their curves more to play against the curve of the green apple, may have made a great graphic image with more impact.

The lighting, too, has led to flashes of light all over the place, which are hard on the eye and detract from the image. It has led to the detail on the slices being lost. Experimenting with different lighting set -ups might help.

The whole image seems out of focus, perhaps you tried to get in a little closer than the camera could cope with? Again, experimenting with different compositions, lighting and distances will help.

The concept was good and promising.
