Coca Cola Classic Can

Personally, I think I would have shot this at a different angle, perhaps a higher or a lower vantage point. In that way, a complete reflection would have shown. Also, the black background is not too perfect. There is a faint red line that shows up right in the middle.

I like the reflection, but I'm not too crazy about the yellow streak on the left side.

i like the clean feel of this. feel the objects are too set up. then again, maybe it was naturally in that zig zag pattern and you didn\'t move anything. no focus point, too many things vying for my attention all at once.

good idea, I like your fridge ;)
I think I see a need of little rotation, I'm not sure if you wanted it that way, or if you even gave it a thougt...

Like your Sepia choose and I like your framing, (but nor sure abour the miller :D )

Good luck with this picture, I would like it on my kitchen wall!

"What ARE you doing with that camera?" Hehe. Great cat expression. I wish the screen's impact on the photo could be minimized a bit - it's distracting - but I suspect you already attempted to do that (and removing the screen would probably have removed the "inside" element, judging from that expression! :).

FROM THE CRITIQUE CLUB

Hello, Joanna,

I wasn't around for the voting on the "Movies" challenge, and I haven't taken the time to look over the entries, so, this is the first time I see your photo. Also, I don't know the movie this picture is based on. But, on first impression I like your picture! As a matter of fact, I think I might like to look up the movie (I like older movies - this is an older movie, right?)

Your composition is excellent. Everything looks like it should be where it is, and even though it looks set up, it also looks very natural. That is very interesting.

Light and colours are very good. The pure black background is excellent. The only place where it could possibly be improved is on the right side of your face, especially the shadow from the cat.

Focus is a bit off - and that is probably the main reason you didn't get a better score. It looks like you focused in front of the cat, more or less where the bell is, but everything in front and in back is somewhat out of focus. I don't know what f stop you used (or if your camera allows you to adjust f stops), but using a higher f stop (f8 or so) will give you better depth of field.

Anyway, I like your entry very much. I love the smile on the girl's face (is that you?), and the fact that the cat seems fascinated with the candle. Good work!

The brighter shades on the pillow and the edge of the cage is distracting. So perhaps a tighter crop into the cat's face with it's briliant eyes may improve this image. Do not feel you need to show it is inside the cage w/ the white bar on the right. The squares of the window displays it brilliantly!
