My small Revelation

So mid way through my photo taking saga. I was messing with the settings and discovered that lighting is everything.

Even though both of my photos are dark and seedy, the bottom one is far more effective. I think it’s the clear light and dark areas and lack of detail that give it the edge. The mystery of what’s in the shadows or what’s out the door? Where as in the first everything is presented clearly, no imagination needed. In this case Less is definatly More.
