Hi! Hereâs a comment from the Critique Club.
First Impression:
My eye keeps getting drawn to the blown out white below the ball. Focus seams off. Nice lighting and focus on the wood.
Composition:
Chair creates nice lines supporting the paperweight. Nice use of negative space to provide balance and contrast. Works well with the chair. Ball support is distracting. Breaks up the flow.
Subject:
Meets challenge
Technical:
Over exposed. Light areas are blown. With such contrast between the dark background and the bright light, try dropping your exposure down â-2â or â-1â you may lose the chairs, but it will make the hi-lights more appealing. Focus appears off due to the overexposed areas. Option: Try reducing the intensity of the light source with a piece of paper over the light, or a piece of cardboard with a small hole.
Summary:
Welcome to DPC! Have you caught the âupdateâ addiction? You had a good idea for the challenge, unfortunately I think the overexposure worked against you. The voters generally expect clear sharp pictures, and with only a couple of seconds to vote, they wonât spent too much time trying to figure out the shot.
Good luck in you future submissions.

not sure what I'm looking at completely, but the sparkles within the orb are pretty cool |

Lovely concept and nice lighting. Maintaining the symmetry more accurately could have helped the image IMO.
Is it only me, or is the image sligthly tilted? |
