Greetings from the Critique Club
By Inspzil
Composition - I think this is a very good idea. I don't really like the mirror though. There are times and places for mirror shots and I don't happen to like it on this particular picture. That's just me. Black is a necessity to the background though for good contrast with your subject. Good choice here. What I think this needs to make it just a little better is a little motion blur. And maybe instead of the mirror, you could've put something that looked pretty hard and dropped 3 pins on it like there is in the picture here, then dropped the 4th with the shutter a bit slower to show it moving.
Technical - I don't know how easy it would be to change the shutter speed on your cam, but the motion thing would've been good. There are always a couple things you can do to fool a camera into taking the shot you want. Also you could take the pic when its a little closer to the surface its about to strike, its simply moving faster there. The framing seems pretty good and the exposure is ok. The one thing that is pretty rough about this picture is all the noise around the pin. That is a bit troubling.
Overall - I think you had a good basic idea. The little touches like not using the mirror and trying to get a little motion blur would be more helpful conveying your idea without having to put so much in the title. I'm not sure what's causing your noise either. I wish I had the answer. Hope this could be a little helpful or a solid alternative for next time. Good luck - Inspzil |

| Fun idea! I'm a bit confused, though. Is this all the same pin? If so the motion could perhaps be clearer. I love the lighting and composition. |

| I think I would have preferred this without the reflective surface. The rest is fine -- the folds maybe show a little too much in your backdrop but the contrast between it and the pins helps alleviate that... it does meet the topic. |
