    Re: Captain Morgan

    It took me a second to figure out where the title was in the photo. With that said, I'm not quite sure were I'm supposed to be looking, there seems to be several possible subjects here.

    Feel free to edit my images for critique, just let me know what you did.

    Nah, this is gorgeous. The subtlety of the light on the painting in juxtaposition with the very white light on the left is very nicely done.

    Good observation. I didn't think to look at it that way.

    Amazing. I love that you included some of the wall on the left.

    Re: Captain Morgan

    I agree with dray. It works well in black and white and is perfectly framed.

    Yes, very nicely framed. Add in the linear structures, the curved ramp and the spider like reflection of the chairs. There's lots to look at but for me it's the strength of this shot.

    Re: Captain Morgan

    I still can't find the title, but I agree on all points so far.

    Title- painting on right. (leg up, Captain Morgan rum)

    I like this. It draws me in, and all around. From the framing, the contrast, the shadows..I really like this photo.

    "Flashed" as in on-camera flash? If so, no, all existing light - this is in a museum where the painting is lit by multiple spot-lights (see multiple shadows around frame...). Exposure set for mid-range on 400ASA film - layered contrast adjustments made in Photoshop to achieve the wide latitude (or range) of shadow/highlight.

    As Everlasting states, Captain Morgan Rum. It may be an only-America thing but their ads end with someone doing the woman's pose (the Captain with his foot on a rum barrel). Titles are always difficult so when one presents itself, however idiotic, I will gladly use it...

    I think the painting at the right could be lightened a little.
