I like the shading, thoughh it would have been nice if there was a little more emphasis on the pyramid itself

On another note, I LOVE this photo because they look like my two (3) cats! And that looks like my door! Aren't they fantastic?

Great contrasts, but the composition is somewhat lacking. The trees in the foreground could have better framed the center by cropping the left off, and then slightly tilting the picture to raise the right hand side.

I agree with friiskiwi. Why upload something when it's not your best?

This has a somewhat "Creepy Clown" effect, nicely done.
What were your camera settings when you took this? That might have effected the grainy focus look.

My cats are idiot lazy lumps. They watch the laser light, but make absolutely no effort to chase it, or even reach for it if it's close to them...That yours "fly" to it is wonderous to behold. Great capture!

Were you using those lazor lights? My dog LOVES them things! Goes nuts! Nice capture here but I would suggest turning it so that the dresser is straight. Would give more appeal.

Your image is crooked, tilting down to the left. If you level it out, it will be a stronger presentation. I would also crop out the lid on the right. It is of a higher white value, and so it is distracting from your focal point of the jars by over dominating the image.

If you have a personal complaint then use the redflag or email the mods or admin. To be so rude in such a way is uncalled for and very immature. She has a point but just stating her opinion here. For you to get so defensive is ridiculous and all you have to do is ignore things you don't want to hear. This is a learning site and if you can't take constructive critique then don't post.

I have 2 of these, too. There were 3. Alvin, Simon and Theodore. Simon is a girl. She's sweet, but very independent, gang leader. Wants to open the door herself. Chases large dogs and vultures. Theodore is a big teddy bear. Likes his water running, tell me verbally when he is done with the water. Alvin disappeared.

The whole point of Autumn, IMO, is the beautiful colours, which you have totally lost here. I suggest you try an other image.

You're perhaps the most creative doorbell ingeneer, but sorry, here we're judging photography, not electronic talents. I'm sure that if you take a new picture of it with better composition and lightning, from an other angle, it will be better.

having gone to all that trouble, may I suggest a re-shoot, this could be framed better and the focus needs improving too.

I don't know what point and shoot you have, but check to see if it has an auto scene option for nighttime shots. I hope you try again and keep this angle. You might also consider trying during the daylight to produce better focus. Just my opinion. Good luck.

I agree with the crop suggestion and if I may make a suggestion if you have not tried this set your camera on 1 car hood or something to help stabilize for the longer shutter time.
Great to see this older MickyD's image in this contest.
Good luck Author

It's great idea to shoot at night time as it can show the light of Mac D logo and building interior. Agree with Friiskiwi and Kyricom on out of focus matter. Probably having it shot during a peak hour (at night) where a lot of vehicles moving around, and using longer shutter speed can create interesting image with stripes of light all over. And, in my opinion, I would like to crop or exclude the light on the top right corner as it can be a distraction of the overall image
