Nice setup and composition... just a bit too dark, in my opinion. (Perhaps a lighter background or brighter lighting would have introduced a bit more 'snap' in the shot.)

Comment by tomzinho:
interesting setup, but i think it falls short of its potential. a couple of thoughts: i'm not sure why you felt you needed the mirror on the bottom, but in using one i would have taken a large mirror so the edges were not visible in the photo, and it looks a bit dark, i assume because you wanted to avoid reflections from the light source, but if you had boosted the saturation a bit the m&ms would have come out a bit stronger.

Excellent composition, and I like your lighting - no weird reflections that distract on the glass. I think this could have used a touch longer exposure, though. If it were a bit brighter, it would really make those colors pop.

Comment by GolferDDS:
Good idea but slightly out of focus. I understand how difficult it is to get those M&M's focused especially when using a mirror.

FIRST IMPRESSION: The frame looks like it's made of wood. Nice color splash in the outer images.

CHALLENGE: This submission is for a challenge requiring 2+ photographs, and you've met that portion of the challenge. The 'rotation' of the fans through the three images enhances the relation the three images have just by their similarity.

COMPOSITION: Colors are good, clarity is good. The middle fan is too dark, but the outer two look very nice. The inner frames help break up the whole image, while the relationship and positioning help keep it together.

TECHNICAL: The center fan is too dark. Also, in the top image, there is something (a hand maybe) below the fan which is somewhat distracting. However, the overall image is good, excepting the center fan's being too dark.

CONCLUSION: A very nice entry for the challenge. Aside from a lighting issue, this is a well-developed image which definitely has potential.

Thanks for sharing, and good luck in your future submissions.

I'd like a bit more light on the fan in the center panel. otherwise a nice display.

I really like the center frame and how it shows up in minimalist ways only, however, it doesn't really fit into the tone of this sequence very well, since the other two show up very clearly and strongly. I think putting the center shot against a white background would have created an interesting contrast with the other two shots, but still maintained the same tone as the other shots. 7
