Long exposure of replica Darth Vader Helmet I used in the Decisions challenge. I named it "technology because I beleive the smarter humans get , the more dangerous we become. I Used a candle for bottom lighting, thats all. I only raised levels a bit, and sharpened. simple last minute submission shot...Im wondering if ill crack 5 here.

The subject is just a bit too hard to make out

Could have done with being slightly sharper.

I thought about doing something like this... The red border is much too strong in comparison to the subject, and the lighting might be a bit too forward... not giving enough shadow. The reflection of the mask's eyes is too much.

seems like his head is too low in the frame.

Good 'ol "Dark" Vader. Decent dark ones and distinguisable dark tones. Nicely done but the eyes do not seem level.

i really do not care for the frame - the red is the brightest colour in the piece and it draws my attention away from the subject.

way too much neat image here as u have lost all details and depth. the red border adds a mood to it but i think it is also a distraction to ur image. i like the comp, no blown highlights but the best i can give this is a 7 because of the painted feel rather than a photograph. plus u met the challenge too..good luck in the challenge

A fitting subject for this challenge. I'm thinking though that for the centered composition, in this case if the subject were to fill the frame more, it might make for a stronger presentation.

I like this. It meets the challenge - good old Darth Vader, symbolic of the "dark side" - and the photo is interesting. However, I would have scored it higher without the red border and more 'blackness/contrast' to the background. Best of luck with it though, it's a great image. 7 from me.

I have you now Skywalker

Agreed. Technology, in some instances, has become very dark. I liked the minimal lighting on this/ It is just enough to tell your story. Didm't like the border, though.

The title just doesn't work for this shot... The composition is a bit odd in that Darth's head is cropped by the bottom of the frame. I'd like to see it given a bit more room to breathe.

the frame is distracting
