Wine Shadow

This is creativity humming. How many times has a photographer decided to shoot a wine glass? There so many different ways but to come off with a picture like this is almost like stealing fire from the gods.

A very whimsical composition which shines with shapes and texture. More like a magnet that attracts the eyes and rewards it with a visual shower. I would have loved for the last ring to have retained the coloration, but this is so minor and in no way detract from the sheer strenght. This gets put into my favs....

Colors, Lines andTextures

This is a very strong and artistic visual rich in texture and color. The most fascinating aspect is the chosen angle which brings outs the strength of the lines, creating an almost tunnel of color effect. very well thought out.

Stripes

from the critique club:

These compositions fall inro the abstract realm. Most important with these images are the colors. The form or lines add interest. personally, I would have repainted the green because it attracts so much attention on account of its almost chartruse quality. Of course, replace it with what. Well, I would consider a subdued red to match the mesh or a dark blue.

The composition is very nice with the vertical lines running up and down and it is obvious that you have a sharp eye to find these interesting patterns. The next step is to cash in your artistic eye by replicating the concept to move the viewer. There are several ways to do this. For example: you do another take after sponging with water every other stripe or hosing the area with water. Most important is the play with light, straight light, reflected etc. In other words the pattern is your base, what can you possibly add to this image to make it stand out. Being a "blue challenge" I would have also considered a black light.

To conlude, you have a very good knack for finding unusual patterns and you need only expend the extra time to make it a unique image, not one that the next photographer can come by and easily duplicate. dan
