The Lorax

And deep in the Grickle-grass, some people say,
You can still see the Lorax standing today.
Taking pictures of fungusy truffula trunks,
That were chopped by the Once-lers Thneed making punks!

Interesting lighting. I always pictured truffula trees as thinner with far fewer rings in them! But I can picture a full forest of these poor trees.

One puff, two puff,
Yellow puff, orange puff.
This one is a little soft,
This one is a bit aloft!

Grinch's Guide to Glad Rags

Comment:
The Grinch, it seems, has turned into a clown,
And though his mouth has a smile, it still looks like a frown.
Just wait one more minute, the Grinch does declare,
I'll get more boas and scarves, and maybe blue hair!

A strange combination of clothes for the Grinch, but your model was very patient to endure that green makeup. Hope it came off quickly!

Thing 1 and the Cat

The Cat in the Hat, seems he's missing a nose,
And where Thing 2 has gone, nobody knows!

They left Suburbia and moved to Quackflurbia

One duck, two ducks, three ducks, not four.
Your house has a yellow door.
The sun is shining in a bright blue sky,
And the duck has green hair, oh why, oh why!

Very Seuss-esque!

This shot isn't as exciting for me. The composition just doesn't draw me in as much. I like the line of the path, but something about the sky taking up that top half, and the bird sitting in an odd spot just makes this one feel more awkward. The colors aren't as vibrant as the other shot you posted either. Even a simple adjustment like duplicating the background layer and setting the mode to 'soft light', then adjusting the opacity to something you're happy with might help this one pop more. Hope that's helpful.

I agree.. nice color and dof, and too bad about the cut off flower at the bottom. I like the way the brown parts of the flower stems are placed in front of the blues so they don't blend in. Good job aligning the angle before shooting.

I think this would have been just as good, if not better, without the ruler/cd in the foreground.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

Well, 11th place, 35 comments, 2 favorites, and a score of 6.85. I don't know that I can be of much more help here!

Anyway, first impression was that I liked the slightly different take on the challenge. Not to photograph one of those big bubbles, but to focus in on the macro version. The shot is very... refreshing!

Composition is nice... grounded at the bottom, nothing cut off on the top or sides. Maybe just a bit too much empty space to the left? But I do like the few extra bubbles floating around in the background to keep it from being this stark whiteness, which you would have lost had you cropped the space on the left. The lighting is great, and allows the bubbles to be well defined. I love how they cover ever side of the leaves.

I think my biggest nitpick with this one is that red border. I'm just not a huge fan of colored borders. I think replacing that red with a simple white line would have worked better for me.

Congrats on a great image, and a new personal best! Looks like food is your thing to photograph! :)

Hope this has been helpful. Please feel free to PM me with any questions.

Looks like the texture of an egg... Now I'm picturing a bunch of eggs being tossed around the inside of a lotto ball machine now. What a mess! Nice shot though :)
