Remote & Phone

[Sabarika]

I have no title for this.. heh. I told myself I needed to utilize my camera more to its' capacity, so I went into manual mode (versus Tv or something) and manual focusing. This may be too dark, but I did minimal editing - resize, sharpen. That's pretty much it. Opinions, ideas? Seems kind of kitchy to me, not really an eye-catcher, but maybe someone else might see something I don't in it.

Overall, I like it. The remote appears to be a little on the grimy side...which is a little distracting. Also, I think the crop is too tight.

That having been said, I really do like the photo and the concept. There is just something about it that resonates with me, but I can't put it into words.

beautiful lighting on the remote, i see this shot as more of experimentation. Nice shot

Thank you very much for the feedback! Yup, remote's pretty gross.. wanted to clean it, but didn't feel like taking the time. Also the lighting is just a corner floor lamp, halogen, shining in from behind my roommate who was next to me. :D I just zoomed in and shot, not that it's an excuse - cropped tight due to clutter and busy background that looked awful, but again thanks for all the comments!
