How Dark is Too Dark

3 years ago by AQuietObligation to c/photocritique

Hey all, I'm going back and forth on this one so I thought I'd ask for some feedback. I really like the moody atmosphere of this pic, but I'm worried that it's just too dark on most viewing devices except for a nice monitor or a good print. I can brighten the image, but there isn't much of visual interest in the darker areas, so I'm worried that it will be too boring of I do so. Thoughts?

The thing I’m most drawn to in this photo are the two tiles in the front that are highlighted - really like how they are catching the light at a different angle then the rest of the floor.

With that being the first focal point, cropping could help as mentioned by some others. I actually wish though that the camera closer to the ground for a more dramatic angle and a different perspective.

I didn’t notice the person on the left until I had my lights off, so yeah maybe a tad too dark.
