I would agree with Greetmir. I don't care for the location of the shallow DOF. much better than my first try with a light tent though:)

Comment by Greetmir:
The DOF is a bit shallow to be my cup of tea. The overall light levels are great though. Lets see something more shiny like a glass of wine or something. Then we can see how the reflections look ... :)

This is a great entry, really captures desolation. Maybe it is just my eyes, but the horizon looks skewed to the left?

Yeahh!!!

Hi, Greetings from the Critique Club:

Composition:Oh dear....why did I have to get this one. I liked this one when I first saw it in the challenge. Oh well...okay let's give it a go. I feel there are a few basic errors in your composition. I just love the frame and the whole idea...but the placement of the subjects needs work. As you can see in the version I uploaded below, I have moved the wine glass away from the pears. I also shortened the amount of space from the subjects to the edge of the frame. I would prefer to see the bottom of the subjects too...just like in a real painting. Maybe you could have put some books under the fabric to raise the subjects up.

Technical: You did pretty well here. You were dealing with glass, fruit, black on black and the frame. I selected the fabric in PS and adjusted the levels to remove the obvious signs of the light on the fabric. I also gave the glass a hit of Shadow/Highlight. I didn't touch the pears, but I did give a touch of Hue & Saturation and Brightness & Contrast on the Frame.

Overall: I think you are onto a great series here...just play with it a little more and you will get the details to where you want. Keep up the great work.
