"Put up...or SHUT UP!" Visit Jhihmoac's Gallery
One of the best ways to get feedback is to pose questions in the description. Stating something like 'do you feel this would be better darker', or 'should I have defocused the background' shows the viewer that you are looking for comments, and that you are also critical of your own work and therefore likely to be more open to suggestions. Just saying 'comments welcome', although encouraging, does not give a commentator enough to go on, apart from which it is often used as a throwaway comment, such as have a nice day.

"There are no rules for good photographs, there are only good photographs." Ansel Adams - Gallery - Web Site - follow me on Twitter.
/\ Now that.. I had not given much thought to.
As I've seen various incarnations of 'comments welcome':
'Critique is welcomed and appreciated'. (Good good phrasing here, in my mind.)
'Please be honest with your comments, I am trying to improve.'
And so forth. Some even bolded their declarations.
Did not think to explicitly ask for feedback on an aspect or facet. Makes sense.
Inviting and specific, to get a 'dialogue' happening with your viewers.

The problem with that, though, is that it makes it even less likely that anyone will point out something you haven't noticed.

ADMIRATION, n. Our polite recognition of another's resemblance to ourselves. -- Ambrose Bierce
On the other hand - if they weren't going to point it out before (because nobody takes you at your word when you say "critique welcome"), then you've lost nothing.

One man sees things and says
It seemed to work for Cathedral. Quite a nice set of comments on that one. OK so an experiment of one is not statistically valid, but I shall definitely try it again.

Was going to link to your same image, Chris.
As I had noticed the quality of comments on your image's page earlier, as well. :o)
Hmm, maybe 'we' are onto something here?
p.s. Nice work, btw. Seems as though you solved the creative dilemma of the one light source. Looks good good.
