Hello from the Critique Club!

Hmmm....this is a challenging image for a Critique Club evaluation. At first glance, this is a very mundane subject. My guess is what captured your attention was the writing which appears to read "Open for Life". This certainly raises questions, the first being, "Did they mean to scribble, "Open for light?" Beyond this bit of interest, try as I might, it is hard to connect with this photo on an asthetic or emotional level. It seems to be a very literal documentation of an electrical box. There is very little in the way of form, color, or tonal contrast to create an interesting viewing experience. It is possible that a straight ahead shot of the front of the box would create a flattened, more abstract viewing plane and make the phrase, "open for life" the main focus.

I don't know why, but this looks like a shot that should be in a horror movie... There is something very ominous about that box...

Hmmm. I guess electricity is an object - im its own kind or way. Photo is not very exciting or interesting for me.

This is an everyday object, however the subject isn't that interesting. Keep trying though :-)

The composition seems lacking and the color is pretty drab overall.
