ain't the brightest crayon in the box

Greetings from the Critique Club

composition
Nice Job. I suggest moving the subject further from the middle of the photo, and possibly using it to cover up the white blob in the background (slightly to the right in the top center) because it is kind of distracting. Also try to fill the frame or use a darker background to eliminate the white in the upper left corner.

color
Nice job with this...all of the crayons in sight ar very bright colors which helps bring your point across.

contrast
The contrast here would have been wonderful if the tip of the black crayon was not in the midst of the shadows. Again try using the tip to cover up the white blob in the background.

focus
Well done.

depth of field
This is my favorite aspect of the shot.

lighting
Try lighting this from a lower angle and see what happens, although I do like the reflection of the lighting on the crayons.

any other element of the photo that stands out or is lacking in some way
Overall I think that this was one of the best shots in the challenge. Please take these comments into consideration, re-shoot this idea, and let us see the results. ~Rob

I like the limited number of colors, the simplicity. Also I like the shallow depth of field and the focus on the top of the bottle, it makes it special (you probably get a lot of complaints about it). Only disturbing are the darker streaks (caused by refractions?) in the bottle, is it caused by the label, or is the environment not shielded of for example by a white sheet ?

The soft focus on some parts does work well.

It's a little too bright at the top but I like it. Mainly because that's one of my favorite sayings when it comes to stink juice. I like your choice of dof except the dropper. I would have liked to see that sharp also.

Pop!

Love the colors and the simplicity of the idea, but I'd use a different (or no) frame

Comment by Artifacts:
Nice angle. Simple color scheme is nice. Perhaps there could be a little more definition between the bottle and its refelction at the bottom, but this is a good shot.

What appears to be a soft focus works well to give a dreamy effect. The unusual angle helps give it some interest, and follows a commonly used advertising style. The color is good and there are no obvious light reflections in the glass. Very nicely shot.
