    I think this might have worked better in color.

    Re: The Party Is Over

    The subject matter would be interesting but the problems with the photo take away from it. There is not enough dynamic range in the photo so the gray tone values are too close together in range and this makes nothing imparticular stand out. I think this is caused by the light source (what ever it was) being too flat.

    You could have created more contrast and gray tone values with strategically placed flash. One or two flash units could have done the trick.

    I hope this doesn't sound too critical because like I said: the subject matter is interesting!

    For the essence of a work of art is, after all, that it cuts out a piece of the endlessly continuous sequences of perceived experience, detaching it from all connections with one side or the other, giving it a self-sufficient form as though defined and held together by an inner core.

    Re: The Party Is Over

    I agree with the other comments KK, but also think that you're a little too zoomed out for it to be effective. Although the overall scene's items are interesting, there is just too much happening here... a crop of only the beer bottles, the wall on the right, etc. could each have been separate photos unto themselves. It's also a tad soft, but probably the normal loss of sharpness due to a scan. Might want to sharpen it up a tad w/ software.
