Saturated Candyby
nicoleangelComment by snaffles: Greetings from the Critique Club!
Initial impression: Very, very heavily saturated and shot at far too high an ISO. If you bothered to shoot it in a lightbox, presumably in a studio setup of some sort, then let us see it instead of burying it under layers of saturation!
Technical: Tying in with the above...the first thing you must do is take a good photo. Show that some thought went into it. Give us an interesting POV, some leading lines, framing, use of the rule of thirds, a focal point - then go to town with the pp, but no amount of extreme pp will make up for the fact that a bad photo is a bad photo. Yes, it really is that simple. I have brown ribbons too to prove it.
Artistic: Yes, I did read the comments both commending you and blasting you for the pop-art approach. It is too easy to embrace the positive comments and ignore those that are more critical.
Overall: I am sure there are pop-art sites out there where people would love this shot. Find them and enter these shots, but this is probably the toughest competitive photography site in the world. Enter photos!
Feel free to PM me with any questions,
