Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.
Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

the brief was to take something into and empty room and photograph it
Cool Room
this is my son Angus having lots of fun
we tried lots of poses and positions in the room (shipping container)
and this symmetrical shot won out mainly because the lighting in the room gave these very tapered leading lines in the walls and floor/ceiling
note on my monitor the back wall shows no detail and the roof and floor are black
can people with properly calibrated monitors let me know if you can see detail so I can adjust my monitor brightness level

I can see the backwall, the top of it has no detail. The floor is black and detailed all the way. My monitor is not calibrated, but the picture looks good.

I can see what you are trying to achieve with the lighting. Interesting shot. Well done. Why did you change the colour of the container? Or was it that light blue?

the container was grey but I was looking for a cool/cold desatureted look
so I cooled down the white balance and that made the walls blue
then I desaturated Angus and the flippers while leaving the saturation in the walls and the swim cap

i like it a lot with the desat look, but maybe try increasing the saturation on the yellow flippers and see what the outcome is.

Interesting idea. Wonderfully executed. My monitor is calibrated and there is detail in every square inch of the container. Being an LCD monitor, of course that changes depending on the angle you view it from.

Hey Keith,
I haven't voted yet on that challenge, but I really like your take on the theme, and for me I can see detail everywhere (un calibrated LCD). I hope you score doesn't suffer much from some voters bias against taking people as you object into the room.
Good Luck Mate!

Very interesting shot. And the back wall has detail throughout. Plus my standard comment: this being an aRGB tagged image it renders incorrectly on non-colorspace-aware (as in: most) browsers. However, this image isn't nearly as badly affected as many others. It has a slight magenta (or red) tinge when interpreted as sRGB.
Cheers
Steffen.
