grannyby shamerComment by Jedusi: The only B&W fruit shot I've liked so far. I wonder whether the lines across the bottom horizontal distract though ? |

Oscillating Stringsby shamerComment by bassbone: I like this abstract view on the strings. The colors are neat and the way that the strings expand as they move away from the center is cool. 6 |

grannyby shamerComment by CNovack: First off, I love the details of the water beads on the top of the apple. The main critique I have here is lighting. Half of the apple is lost to shadow. I know that it gives it a dramatic look as the apple seems to emerge from the darkness - but that dramatic punch is lost without color. A burst of red or green emerging from the darkness has alot more visual impact and is noticed more than the study in B&W tones. If you go with the B&W tones the object needs to have interesting texture or the cropping needs to add to the dramatic presentation. Texture - the surface of a granny smith is basically one color you could spice up the B&W if you went with a different apple - such as a two-tone apple (Gala apples, Jona Gold or even Ambrosia apples). The 'texture' is introduced in the shifting tones which would increase the dramatic look in a B&W study. If you stay with the granny-smith apple then a another simple way to increase the visual appeal is to crop it closer to your main object. Cutting out much of the negative space by utilizing a square crop that is close to the apple would help. You could balance the level of shadow on the bottom of your apple to match closely with the negative space of the background so that in a square composition we just see this apple 'emerging' from the shadows. |
