The Color of Money

Greatings from the Critique Club

This is very hard to critique.

Conceptually, it's good. Being american money it doesn't have a lot of colour to work with. Shame you couldn't get ahold of some Euro's!

As far as composition, it just isn't, well, exciting. The lighting is a bit flat. I'm rather at a loss as to what to say to improve it.

I don't know how you would introduce more contrast, which might help, you picked up about as much detail as is possible.

It is an interesting perspective.

I'm sorry I don't have more constructive things to say.

I get it. I like the concept. I want to see the green of those bottles. I do like the composition, but the sheet and blanket don;t look like the guy died in bed, not on a guerney or in a car.

I like the concept, but I think the keys are too hidden. Showing the entire key would have had a bigger impact.

Not sure the capabilities of your camera, but did you try a portrait mode view looking at the underside of both feet, shallowish DOF and the beer bottles and keys on the bed in the foreground? Something that would look more like an ad compain and not a hodge podge of ideas. 5 -danny

Comment by muckpond:
nice message. might be more effective with the foot hanging off the end of the bed (ala a stretcher) and the leg being totally covered by the sheet.

Clear message, clear attempt to influence thought and behaviour. Nice use of small detail rather than entire model. Good choice of B/W.

Great composition, the b&w works well. Might have been better with a smaller border, but not enough to matter.

A bit of blood would have helped too. Nice interpretation and shot.

The idea is great but the POV could be improved a lot. I think the best thing would be to take a photo from the sole of your foot together with the empty bottles and maybe the car keys.
