Revenge of the Cornucopia

Got my revenge, though it didn't do too well. Citymars got the joke, I like to make people laugh.

To those thinking this is not a contre-jour: It is, and anyone can see it. It makes you think how thorough some DPC=-members review pictures. ;)

Never quite understood that rule

Thanks for the comments. tooohip was perfectly right in guessing that it would not do too well. During the vote, a forum-topic listed loads of members giving low grades for any picture that did not meet the rule of thirds exactly. It probably affected my score, but this was more of a joke than a picture that was going to score.

I agree with linusatpug, pinegan and indecline, that the pic could have used a wider DOF. Technically, I would not considere this to be one of my better pictures.

markopella's comment really made me laugh. I am not sure wether he is serious, or just playing along, but in both cases, his comment is hilarious. :D

I like the stiil life! I think that here there are some small problems. first the background is a bit distracting, the line on the lower left side of the image isn't beautiful. second, the orange is too near the border line, you need 0.5 cm of space for a better composition. third, the orange and the kiwi low side are hide. fourth, the reflection on the top of the glass must be avoided. nice the red that go in the upper left corner and the colours. 6

overall very nice, if i was to really nitpick i would have only used one straw and would have chosen a better location and background

you really put forth some effort here, unfortunately you need to do a few things...
1) get the light off and away from the camera
2) use at minimum two lights
3) use manual exposure to expose for the subject
4) use Photoshop levels across the entire image to equalize the blacks

i like the idea of the composition, but the colors are so incongruous. maybe a more specific choice for color palette would help?

Definitely could have made the drink more appealing

I would have preferred it if the black material were silk rather than velvet

I would have preferred to see a wedge of fruit on the glass rather than the straws which take away from the beauty of the shot
