Greetings from the Critique Club
I noticed this is only your second entry on DPC, takes a few challenges before you start to get the hang of what works and what doesn't around here.
From a conceptual point of view, I think this is good. It is quite interesting and slightly unusual. However, the execution does let this down quite a lot. It is a very busy image and there is no main subject for the viewer to focus on. Your eyes are drawn to the "incense" and yet this doesn't really feel like it is in the right place.
The rest of the lighting is a bit flat and uninteresting. The image largely looks out of focus, mainly due to the uneven lighting I think.
The composition is way too cluttered and is very tightly framed making it very hard to look at.
As I said, I think the idea was interesting, but the technical aspects and the composition really let this one down. |

Thanks for your feedback and voting. I was not burning incense, but this is how the light from the flashlight showed up in the picture.
As this was my first I will try to get some other shots using the flashlight as a source of light.

| The lighting kills this shot for me. I would have gone brighter and sacrificed the incense burning, which seems more of a distraction. |
