a go at symmetry c&c welcome

[rcsmyth]

Take a look and let me know what you think.
Thanks Ryan
I just noticed i should of tightened the crop a touch more

This is my first post to a C&C as I still don't feel I'm as good as i want to be to even think about C&Cing someone elses work. However this is what came to mind when viewing your photo...

I would crop the right side just a bit more to get that object out of the way. I then would place a chess set or some cards on the table and take another photo. :thumbup: Again this is what I would do, but I'm still new.

there's something about the angle and the different lighting on either side of the photo that bothers me

 

[Sherman Banks]

You've balanced the elements of the photo within the frame, but the angle takes away from that effect. I don't mind the lighting, though I could be bit more pronounced. I think a symmetry of the geometric shapes balanced with a asymmetry of lighting makes a good combination though.

I would like it better if it was squared up a bit more. and maybe some early morning sun...

thanks for the comments when you say you don't like the angle, what do you think is the better approach for that?

i'm not sure my first post should be helping with critique, but...

i think if you took a few steps to the left/squared yourself up parallel to the wall, it would give you better symmetry. or at least a better symmetrical effect.

i think that's what they are trying to get at.

I would say just straight on. You don't won't the off-balance dimensional effect you have with the symmetry in the geometry. At least that's the way I would do it.

That's exactly what I would have suggested.

The image seems soft too.
