OK, so it is a pretty rare thing for me to question my sense of judgement nowadays but I'm in two minds about these photos.
1. in what area is critique to be sought?
Choosing between the two versions
2. what one hopes to achieve with the piece of work?
a film noir look
3. under what circumstance is the picture taken? (physical conditions/emotions)
Tight hallway in house
4. what the critique seeker personally thinks of the picture
The white spot in the first (original) always bothered me but there wasn't anyway I could get around it in the actual shot due to the physical constraints I had. Being usually a natural light photographer, to me that white spot points to an obvious artificial light source, one that probably would never be there in the apparent setting. However, something in the back of my mind does like the hard black/white local contrast it gives. What do you guys think?
