gregscott 0 Posted June 14, 2006 I can't give advanced critique, but I can give some naive reactions: 1. With no evident power source, the situation seems odd. Could be your intent. 2. The pile of broken bulbs may distract from the central element, which seems to me to be the glowing filament and its smoke. 3. WIth no small shards of glass, the scene seems even more unreal. I'd almost rather see a humble ceramic socket, a hammer, and a shattering bulb, with the same mushroom cloud. In total, the result seems rather contrived. You're not capturing a "natural" phenomenon, you're simulating it. Perhaps that's part of your conceptual basis. So far, my critique has been more conceptual than artistic. On the technical side, there's a lot to admire here. The lighting of the smoke, the balance with the light from the filament, and the balance with the lighting of the broken bulbs are all in excellent balance, very "seamless". I'm sure that this is difficult. The color is excellent. I dislike the watermark. (of course? I'm assuming it's placed as an intentional "spoiler".) On the artistic side, I'm less qualified to comment. The composition, while complex, seems to work. I think a simpler composition with a more obvious relationship between the elements would work better, but that's gettting back into the conceptual issues. All in all, I find this a provocative photo, with much to commend it to thoughtful study. Perhaps my naive comments will help provoke more knowledgable comments from other more "illuminated" sources!
