This is good...still some room for improvements.I f i was you i would use a paper box with more "texture" for the walls (to give a wet / dark / scary surface).The "death row" nail is a clever idea.I would place a "power lever" & a nail "guard" some where in the "room".Placing a corner on your frame adds a lot (isolation) but you could use a wider frame to include the chairs legs.Color is good...mysterious / cold.Every thing else is great IMHO & i especially like the electric evacuation!
Best of luck author.

Fantastic mood.

Nice use of woods lines.Place them diagonal really worked!!
Great focus on the nail.

A lot better author.
I hate HDR's

Nice back lit rock.
Great sky & the lens flare add a lot!!!
You could straight the horizon a bit tho.

Is that a NY written with the nails?
Perfect focus & DOF!

Very good choice sir.It sure looks like a floor!!!
Good luck.

Very nice robot you got here author.I especially like the "eyes".

Background is all so very fitting.
What is it , if i may ask

Respect

A R T ! ! !

This could be a very colorful entry but unfortunately the colors are washed out from the "hard" flash!

Check this link for an easy / cheap way to diffuse your camera's flash!.

It's really simple.

Respect...
This is P E R F E C T !!!!!!
You did GREAT with make-up,lighting,pose,post-processing....
You must be a PRO!!!!!!!

I really have NO words for this...
This is amazing.
My regards author.
You are incredible!!!!!!!!

Scary..
It looks like there's "evil" behind that door!!!
You got the mood right author.

The walls of the building are BOH (blow out highlights).
It's when light is too strong on a surface that you loose detail.
You can avoid that either by selecting an other hour of the day (when light isn't THAT strong,afternoon maybe) or using Neutral Density Filters (ND) that reduces light of wavelengths or colors equally (and therefore do not effect the colour of the finished photo).

Those of course are technical details.
Over all this is a nice photo

Nice abstract!

Even if the quality of the image isn't the best possible i must say that this is an "out of the box" thinking.
Very good eye author!!!

Great composition author!
Light brings out the colors very well.

Its a nice concept author but it lacks of preparation & presentation.
Since you came up with this you should find a glass bottle to place the oil inside(plastic looks "cheap".All so you shouldn't fire the flash "straight" towards the bottle because you have some "hot spots" on the bottle which is quite distracting! If you don't have an external flash you can try this...(i did it when i didn't own an external flash).
You can direct the flash from your camera (build in) using small f (f.e f3 or f4) plumbers tubes .All you need is i straight piece & 1 or 2 corners & you can direct the light right/left/above/behind your composition!
That worked for me back then.
Just an idea to improve your lighting next time.

Great texture & color!!!

Lmao

Actually is not...

A polarizing filter, used both in color and black and white photography, filters out light polarized perpendicularly to the axis of the filter. This has three applications in photography: it reduces reflections from some surfaces, it can darken the sky and it saturates the image more by eliminating unwanted reflections.

Oh...
I am honored sir!!!!

Genesis could be an alternative tittle for this one.
The "right" tittle helps a lot your photo & the viewer to understand the feeling you want to impress.
Creates an interlude / atmosphere.

Egg light is just ...an egg with light in it...

Genesis is the creation of life inside the egg...the miracle of life before our eyes!!!

Its a nice idea author.
GL

It looks like you used a flash for this shot.Flash creates "nasty" shadows (in this case).
You should use flash if you want to reveal/hide parts of your composition.If you want to create a sense of mystery,let the viewers imagination travel though your photograph flash is the best choice you can have but in this case is not.You could use a lamp or any other light source,lighting the subject from left or right or even from above or behind !The background is white & makes it hard for your composition to stand out "pop out" & manifested.
Of course this is only my opinion.GL

You did great with the lighting.
I all so like the choice of the b/g (background).
Nice texture of the pear.

Rotate the image 2.6 degrees clockwise so it's straight.
You blown out your highlights a bit but it's still a nice composition .

Great presentation.
Meaningful , touching!!!

I really believe that the blue light you use here "spoils" the mood of your composition...
You got wood,horn & a very nice set on your table.
You need a warm / well coming light here.
Blue is just tooo "cold"!

Classic...

Great mood.
You should use your old phone on the OLD PHONE contest 3 weeks ago!!!
Nice old phone & lamp!

I really like the shadows on the wall!

Great lighting & mood.
Feels like i am in a blacksmiths workshop!!!
You did great author...a hammer on the side would be just perfect but i LOVE it anyway!!!!!

The Corinth Canal (Greek: Διώρυγα της Κορίνθου) is a canal that connects the Gulf of Corinth with the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea. It cuts through the narrow Isthmus of Corinth and separates the Peloponnesian peninsula from the Greek mainland, thus effectively making the former an island. The canal is 6.3 kilometres (3.9 mi) in length and was built between 1881 and 1893.

Several rulers in antiquity dreamed of cutting a canal through the Isthmus.[citation needed] The first to propose such an undertaking was the tyrant Periander in the 7th century BC.He abandoned the project due to technical difficulties, and instead constructed a simpler and less costly overland portage road, named Diolkos.According to another theory, Periander feared that a canal would have robbed Corinth of its dominating role as entrepôt for goods. Remnants of the Diolkos still exist next to the modern canal.

The modern attempt at construction began in the 1870s following the successful opening of the Suez Canal. A French company was hired to build it, but due to financial difficulties, the company ceased work after only the two ends had been dug. Finally, in 1881 the Hungarian architects István Türr and Béla Gerster, who had also been involved with early surveys for the Panama Canal, were hired to plan a new canal. A Greek company led by Andreas Syngros (the main contractor being Antonis Matsas) ultimately took over the project and completed it in 1893.
On April 7, 2010, Australian daredevil Robbie Maddison performed a motocross jump over the canal.

The Corinth Canal is considered a great technical achievement for its time. It saves the 700-kilometre (430 mi) journey around the Peloponnesus for smaller ships, but since it is only 24 metres (79 ft) wide it is too narrow for modern ocean freighters. The canal is nowadays mostly used by tourist ships; 11,000 ships per year travel through the waterway. The water in the canal is 8 metres (26 ft) deep. At the maximum, the walls are 52 metres high.

Funny & very clever author!

The blur on the bottom right adds to the "paparazzi" look of the photo IMHO!

Lovely "paparazzi" photo author!!!

Author...
I guess that this is a set up / composition (theres no way that old phone has that kind of headphones,how silly of me )which is a good one (creative enough for my taste).
Since it's a composition i think that that the whole phone & headphones should be on the frame ( a wider frame that includes both of them).
The way the photo looks now is like it's a snap shot (like you didn't had the time to frame it the way you wanted).I don't know if you can re-shoot it but if you can i suggest a wider frame (IMHO)!
All so a have a question about the background.Is it a piece of white paper?

P E N E T R A T I N G .........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Little "monsters" playing with a "monster".
Look at their eyes...full of "curiosity"

Guy in green : "Look all of this buttons"

Guy in blue : Yeah...cool!!!!

Guy in green : "Should we being doing this?"

Guy in blue : Go ahead...push the button...no one will see us (waaahahahahahaaaaa!!!!!)

Cute little guys author

Oh...
Someone wrote my nickname on a tree!!!!!

It's OK my friend...
No worries!!!
At least you create a piece of ART & not just a snapshot.

Only you.
No one else has THAT blue eye!!!

Yeah right....

Stop being ironic & grow up man!

The back drop is not the best choice here.
Because of the material is been made,the shadows (of chair & model) created by the light source gives the impression that this photo is "over edit" (which is NOT).

There is some "notion blur" on models hair (if you use an external flash i doubt that,but if you use just a light source you should use a higher shutter speed to avoid that) or it could just be the shallow DOF(if you focus on the models body with a f : 4.0 or lower).

I hope i am not hard on you author & i wish you good luck!!!

There is all so an other way instead of crop (cropping will loose the lowest part of the crystal & it would look "ugly".
Set your light metering to "spot" (so your camera gets light only from the crystal).
That way you increase the shutter speed & the background gets all black.
Lean you crystal with the following way...
Use a toothpick & 2 small pieces of your adhesive tack & place them "behind" the crystal.

Is this the newest version of NERO?
You liked it?
I want to buy it too so your opinion counts....

Nice framing & mood author.

Nicely composed!
You got the mood right.
