Nice colors... the bright red background helps to really brighten this up!

If you don't mind fiddling with the lighting in PS, you can always use the 'Move the Light' tutorial that idnic put together. Simply put for this shot, you make a new layer, paint some white over the label, change the layer to soft light, and then use a heavy dose of gaussian blur. If it's too much, lower the opacity of the layer. Should spruce up the dark label pretty easily.

Exactly! Quite a unique take on photographing and ordinary object! What a fun shot to examine, and well executed! :)

Keys Day 6.jpg

So we know that one key is for the lock on the box, one is for the truck and one is for the door. That leaves four more mystery keys? Nice contrast between the red and blue, and I like the softer processing here. It's just enough.

day 6 - nickel

Nicely done... the shape of the reflection seems odd, but that's ok. Keeps it interesting. When I read another commenter saying they expect it to topple, I thought it would be interesting to catch it in motion spinning... maybe you can get the dime to spin! Great job!

Love the different color lines in his shell, and that you can see scrapes in the texture of the shell too.

I agree with Sheryll about the red bug/dot. I like that you didn't center this one, but left it slightly off to the right, and it looks like you chose to show us the whole petals of the prettiest side. I think this could use just a bump as far as either levels or contrast too. Nice job!

Day05: Card Case
by citymars

Comment:
I like the colors here and the metallic area in the front of the case. Overall though, this shot just doesn't pull me in like some of your other shots. Perhaps more dramatic lighting, or a slightly different angle/perspective would help? I feel like there is so much negative space there, and I just want to look at that small metallic area on the left.

Day06: Door Handle

Love how you can see the textures in the brushed metal here. I find it strange that even though the button part is centered left to right, it still feels like it follows the rule of thirds to some extent from the rest of the composition. A nice shot of such an ordinary object.

Day 6 - Shell Jar
by rox_rox

Comment:
Interesting the way the negative version makes it look illuminated. Something about the top half with all of the horizontal lines around the lid just doesn't feel like it flows with the contents of the jar for me. But I don't have any suggestions for improving it either, so I guess it can't be that distracting to me!
