Focus might have been better on the scope rather than the moon.

I think the telescope should be in complete focus with the globe in the background. 6

Interesting idea, but I don't know why you wouldn't include the telescope as your subject as well? the composition hints that this the telescope should be the main subject but the title says other. Kinda confusing, but good idea. Needs greater DOF and shift of map to convey your thoughts. Just assuming what you were trying to do.

I almost did the same thing. I own an 8 inch LX200 and the thought crossed my mind. Good idea. Wish the scope could have been clearer,but.....

telescope text is out of focus, it would have been better in focus.

Nice - a tiny bit more shadowed than I would like, but I don't know how you could correct for that without having the flames too bright, unless you could have gotten a very dim light on the scene from above.

I'm guessing the object on the left is another candle, in a candle-holder, but I'm not completely sure - it's that detail, more than any other, that I'd like to be able to make out.

The reddish colors of this photo, and the composition, are absolutely gorgeous - I like the balancing of the 'weight' of the objects.

I like this image alot, however I think it should have been centered more. Nice work, though.

given the nature of your shot with the tea cup in the center this would have worked well to have cropped so that the tea cups at top would have been the same at the bottom. taking the shot from directly above would have also helped the overall appeal. on the other side i do like the concept of your shot
