A basket of fruit?by
jimsappComment by kandyj: Critique Club:
Meeting the Challenge: As noted below, Waldo could have been a bit less obvious, although most people wouldn't look in a basket of fruit for a man!!
Composition: I like the mix of colors of apples, like the neutral color and placement of the basket helping to accentuate the fruit. Waldo hiding in the shadow in between those four top apples would have been great. The background could have been plainer, maybe a poster board would have worked better than the carpet. I would have just left apples in the basket as the foreground fruit is not as pretty or shiney as the apples and takes away from the image.
Technical Quality: A little vignetting noted in the corners. Love the soft lighting. No post processing problems noted. Exposure and focus are very good.
Creativity: Very good, this was a tough challenge for many of us and I think your overall idea is great.
Conclusion: Well executed photo, somewhat meeting the challenge, nice overall. I would have expected this photo to score a bit higher than it did. Maybe Waldo being so obvious brought your score down, as the technical quality is good in my opinion.
