Hi from the Critique Club!

This is a really interesting collection of health related items. I particularly like the old bottles and the first aid kit.

Compositionally the image is quite flat; as one or two of the voters suggested, an arrangement that gives depth from front to back may have created a more powerful image. Also the placing of the bottles in one half of the image and the books in the other, has created a division in the photograph, where each half competes for attention, rather than being a unified whole.

You have chosen items that complement each other as far as colour goes, which is pleasing on the eye. But I do find the red border a little distracting - with so much to look at in the image, the last thing you need is a border that competes for attention.

You have used the window light and reflector well, getting some nice highlights on the bottles. Had the right-hand side been a little darker so that the bottles stood out more, you may have created a more dramatic image, but the evenness of light across the picture makes it a tiny bit flat as far as contrasting light is concerned.

A really interesting and unusual still life.

Hello from the Critique Club!

The first thing that strikes me about this image is the clarity and sharpness. I can see every detail...the wear and tear of the years, the build up of debris that is inevitable, and the gorgeous, decorative detail of a machine from a past era, now replaced by boring, clinical, plastic wannabes, with no soul.

Look at that reflection in the plate! The focus and exposure here is just about perfect!

Thers's also a lovely softness and delicacy to the lighting and post processing, that adds to the charm of the image.

Compositionally, there is a wonderful, pleasing, balance between positive and negative space.

A really well executed image that exudes charm.
