Old Record Player

To me, the blur of the record player is distracting, and it looks a little over-exposed. But I like the motion of the record, and the reflection of the arm of the record player in the record. I like the compsition of this too.

I love the blue tones to this one, but I think there are too many distracting elements in front of and around the cool looking smoke. I read an article on photography composition once that said the first rule of thumb is to always remove clutter. anything that's not important to the picture, if possible, get it out of the picture. But I really love the contrast of the colors and that beautiful blue.

I think the problem with this may be just one of those "dpc no-no's" in that statutes and toys nearly always get dismissed. Also, it may be a little "unsimple" in that the distractions of the shape of the figurine itself, then the red and the black where you can't really tell what it is are pretty distracting. I'm not sure I know what I'm talking about on all that, it's just something that my "eye" tells me.

I have a soft spot for owl pictures, and this one is exceptional! I love the selective desaturation on this one. It really highlights the circles. The more I look at this, the more I like it. Good luck. 10
