Yellow Zero

Comment:
nice. i think a tighter angle would have helped - not by making the zero more obvious (which it would) but by diminishing yet still hinting of the 3 dimensionality of the object.

Four-Shadowing

i think i would have cropped in closer, and maybe taken the photo from a lower angle (exchange the free space below for more above)

Which came first?

Comment:
this is clearly a high quality photo done by someone who knows something about using a camera. technically there isn't much to complain about here, but ultimately do i find this a compelling, original photo? no (although i'd love to know how this was done), maybe because the portrait is greater than the eggs. yes, you use eggs, but they aren't relevant to your photo (the eggs without the boy would make no sense, the boy with out the eggs would do just fine).

i don't see any leading lines . . . where am i being brought into the subject of the photo by a line?

and the strange effect from the borders also detracts materially from the quality of the photo - if the tree is the subject of the photo, why the strange fade on the edges? how does that add to the quality of the photo?

Cup of Contrast

I saw you comment about feedback from the CC club, so I thought I'd come back and give you some thoughts.

I generally rate photos giving a score from 0 to 3 each in terms of originality, meeting the challenge, and quality. Those add up to a 9, and a 10 is something that blows me away.

For yours, I thought that the originality was okay, and it did meet the subject, but where you were hurt the most was the quality. In your case its not that the photo was out of focus or any way you could have manipulated your camera to get a better result, but the setup really bothered me that the sheet was visible at all. I've found that its not that hard to take those shots where the objects seem to 'float' over a black or white background that provides no distraction from the subject and focus of the picture, and to set up a shot that doesn't do that pushes the needle to the amateur side of the 'quality' rating. A couple of months ago I went to an art store a for a couple of bucks bought some 18x18 thin black and white boards that when used can make the photo, IMHO, look more professional (like here). I also didn't like the shadow on the top part of the yellow candies. Maybe the lighting could have been a little better controlled and/or you could have filled the cup up a little more to avoid that.

I hope that was helpful. Cheers, Tomzinho

Fo(u)r lonely eggs

i find the space and stuff in the top left corner a bit distracting. maybe putting a white sheet of paper there during the photo to allow the focus to be more on the eggs and carton would have made the photo stronger.

Egg Yoke

Comment:
i like the yellow on blue. i find the edge of the white distracting from the subject of the yolk for some reason.

simple and well done. i like how you have to look at the shadow to see that it is an egg.
