Still life, San Fransicoby hajekaComment by Bear_Music: Hah! Bravery points awarded here. You HAVE studied your Ansel, haven't you? Execution falls a little short, unfortunately, most noticeably in the light dropoff front to back on the egg cutter; my eye is drawn inexorably to the bottom left and out of the image by the flow of light, and that's very un-Adams. If the lighting were a tad more even, you'd have been able to better-express the purity of the white tones: you have them mostly on Zone VI where they really want to be clustered around Zone VII... Also the cropping lower left is very arbitrary. Sharpness is excellent, DOF is very good, detail is excellent, composition (especially on the right side and lower left) is a bit lackluster. Still, a good effort and one that goes beyond the surface of Ansel's most popular imagery.
ETA: Pity about the misspelling of "Francisco" in the title :-( |

What are you lookin' at?by hajekaComment by Citadel: Not really sure about the selective desaturation here. Its typically used to draw the viewers attention to a subject. In this case there are two subjects one of which is black and white already. |

Lime jelly with basilby hajekaComment by MrAkamai: What about a light green background instead of white? Just a thought. I do like the clean white that you used, however. Simple presentation. |

Food 02 - French cheeseby hajekaComment by davidw: This looks wonderful and quite appetizing. I hope that I'm not picking, but I think the bits in front aren't quite sharp enough. |
