What an interesting shade of red glass! I probably would have tried to have kept the whole tray in the image, you've cropped off just a little on the right there.

distracting reflections around the tray and i would try different lighting for the red subject, maybe another surface and lighting from underneath or behind.

Unfortunately I do not find these glass items particularly eye catching. I think excluding the jug, might have improved the composition. Would also have tried to have kept out he wood edge bottom left. Srangley enough, what really does attract my attention are the reflections on the left, which look like legs, which might have made a better subject.

Hi Denise

I really like the concept behind the series of images you put together here, but I feel it misses the mark in a number of ways.

First I'd like to critique the pictures themselves: The best image of the lot is the third one. I like the lighting on the cat and the stone wall and think that makes a particularly interesting shot. The first and second images I'm not nearly as fond of... In the first the cat and birdbath are too isolated in center of the frame for it to effective. On the scond I'm not really fond of the blue bag against the green grass and I don't feel it goes well with the other two pictures.

Now for the composition: Olive green border == ick in my book. I think a black border would have suited this far better and really provided contrast to the white on the cat in each of the pictures. Also, these are all horribly small! You didn't use the full 640 pixel width available to you and the picture entire is only 60k. You can't fit much detail in that way, and that's really what you need to show these shots off. As of now the viewer can't get a good idea of how good or bad the photography is!


Good luck in the next challenge!

Poor focus

Comment by shadow:
I would prefer to see one with a sharper focus. The colours look a bit saturated, some buffing up on the hue will help.

Comment by Pedro:
A few observations: it's a little out of focus; you've cropped a fraction of the tray which looks accidental; using a table as a backdrop creates diverging lines since you've squared the tray with the camera - if you have to use that sort of backdrop, don't forget that it has to be inharmony as well (not necessarily in line, it just needs to work with your subject); the glass table has both reflections and silhouettes of things underneath which is a bit distracting in my opinion. Sorry if this seems long-winded, but lots of people have been saying they're looking for constructive criticism, so that's what i was going for. good luck. Pedro

If the subject were something other than 'transportation,' I'd have rated this shot higher.
