I would love a critique, as it is hard to judge your own photos...thanks to

anyone out there!

Inspite of the banner, I think that the picture is not sharp, may be you use an wrong apperture value or an insufficient shutter speed. The lighting is OK, as well the composition.

Update: I saw now that you used:

ExposureTime: 1/60 s;

FNumber: f/2;

ISOSpeedRatings: 500;

I think the apperture value stands behind of the blur

Thanks everyone for the help...I do leave the banner on just to be safe, though I know that it does take something away from the photo....the other reason it may look slightly blurry is that I only uploaded the low-res photo to my portfolio.

I know now that the apperture was definitely a little low for this style of photo (this was one of the first I tried like this), and now I would normally use around 5.6 to make sure to bring out all of the details.

Thanks again!
