If we are to dispense with judgment unabashedly, the unreservedly candid would likely discount this piece as shallow and unrefined. To be frank, it strikes as classic point-and-shoot photography. Thus begging for inspiration, searching for artistic meaning, and failing to acomplish what would otherwise be stunning quality of exposition.
Most disturbing is the lighting. Shutter speed was good but the indelibly glaring problem with this photograph is that the composition leads viewers to focus primarily to the left piece. The depth-of-focus is not very telling as to what focal point is desired, and the lighting is too bold.
To pontificate further, we find it regrettable that the art has brick-wall-backdrop. The art is not necessarily haute countre, but the context of the paintings reminds me of something you would find in the basement of a second-rate nightclub.
I'd much prefer a better composition, the off-balanced framing is excusable, and if done correctly would have brought a redeeming quality to this piece, but holistically the mood of the art is not captured by the photograph. The art is decent but the photograph fails to parallel.

You sent this to me before. I remember reading it. So weird reading it here. Much better to read it with the picture there.
"John: i secretly like it"
So the truth comes out! Isn't this libel or something??
