Very useful feedback, Neil. Thanks!
I did actually try to minimize blow-out, and would have done so given a bit more time to spend -- perhaps I'll re-shoot at some point, and see what I can come up with... Because of the shape of the piece, it was hard to not have _something_ be blown out -- but hard doesn't mean impossible, so I may well try again. :-)
Anyway, again, thanks! |

*Hi From the Critique Club*
This strikes me as a nice piece to photograph to suit this challenge. You have chosen it well. The main distraction for me when I immediately look at this photo is the blown out highlights at the top centre and right and it begs the question of whether you needed to crop it a bit more or not. Then again, cropping the top out may of reduced the impact of the photo by removing the top curve of the subject. Perhaps even if you had of tried some different angles with the light so that it wasn't so much directly on the glass it may of helped reduce it slightly but that would also come down to the surroundings.
Some people aren't great fans of borders. I myself don't mind them when subtley done and I think just having a slim border around this would of helped complete this photo and maybe even tidied up the overall look of it.
Overall, you have captured the challenge topic well and used a fantastic subject. It would of been very easy just to hit this photo with a standard flash and a much shorter exposure but trying with a long exposure using the small light was a great way to try something different. Despite the blow outs the voters definately looked beyond it and scored this photo very well. Congratulations on the result.
Neil :) |

Well, 34th, and/or rating over 6, I guess isn't _so_ bad. ;-)
Guess I should have done something about the blow-out... I knew it was there, though it was difficult to manage with the way I lit it... But I'm sure I could have figured out something, and/or cropped it out, or some such something.
Thanks all for your comments.

| Wow, very interesting! Love the lines and the way they twist. Nice shot. The only thing that bothers me is the blown area at the top. |

| I like the pattern, a touch washed out to the top right and a bit blotchy here and there. However, I realize this is a basic challenge and I myself could not remove a small blotch from my own. (6) |
