Cheap Christmas Lights (ALWAYS read the decription!)

Cheap Christmas Lights (ALWAYS read the decription!)
by karmat

Comment:
Lighting seems a little harsh. The red background is quite dominating and takes the focus off the lights. The composition is not great either I'm afraid - three of the lights intersect the border. Might have been more effective to have a much lower down viewpoint and have more of a DOF effect going on and having just one of the lights in focus, that would have given you a clear focal point and taken the emphasis off the red surface.

Lovely wide angle, just a shame it wasn't taken from ground level as it would have been so much more dramatic and would have maybe gotten more of the buildings in distorting towards the sky. Well remembered to get right of the number plate as most adverts tend to purposely miss them out.

Very wide border, whats going on there. The woman is a bit distracting. Nice clean cars but real adverts tend to have missing number plates or neutral ones so the same image can be used in marketing campaigns in various worldwide territories. A big yellow number plate at the front, for me in the UK, is very distracting and rather spoils the shot for me. Perhaps you could have post processed them out. Also, taken from eye-level which is pretty boring, a ground level shot, with a really wide angle lens to get some of the building in behind - "going up in the world" looking from ground to sky type concept would have worked well with your title

Another model, I've never seen a model used in a car advert, CGI maybe, but not a model. I think the intention of the brief was to photograph a real car in some situation or other and not do a still life which is what this essentially is. Lighting has made it very specular and not evenly light, you have a real hotspot in the centre which tails off quite unaturally towards the edges.

Perhaps keeping your composition concept the same, but achieving it by using a much wider aspect ratio and getting the whole car in frame. Lovely lighting and focus on the side of the car, perhaps a little too dark at the rear though, I imagine a car manufacturer would want it more visible and also to show the whole thing

The headlights are the eyes of a car. If this was a portrait of a person, you might not want to have one of the eyes half cropped out of the image. Tonal seem a little on the light side, could do with pushing the bottom end to balance it out a little bit

THE NEW AUDI S5 : Sparkling Sophistication

Comment:
More branding than a specific car but still passes as an automobile advert. Perhaps Audi would have wanted their four-rings logo more visible and not disguised so much by bokeh. Not sure about the border, think you've gone for the widescreen TV borders.

Comment:
Great wide angle, glad you avoided the eye-level viewpoint. Hard, gritty colours are nice but conflict with an almost Christmasy feel I'm getting. Would have been better on just tarmac with a neural background. Looks as if only one of the main lights is working - not sure if you ment that or not

Very simple, clean and lovely tones. The only thing that lets this otherwise perfect image down is the reflection of the tree which spoils the symmetry

Zero to Five in Two Seconds

Comment:
Could have left a bit more space at the bottom so that there is equal spacing between the bottom of the reflection and the frame as there is space between the top of the car and the top of the frame. Another model... Viewpoint is eye level which is the most uninteresting, the entries that are much lower down with wider angle lenses tend to be more dramatic.
