Cabbage Head

Great shot, I really like the sharp focus. I think it misses the Weston mark though. I don't think this emphasizes form abstracting away the actual object enough. I think Weston's cabbage shots were all leaves draped like dresses or tightly cropped cross sections. As is this doesn't say Weston to me.

I think I see what you were going for. I like it, but I think it misses the Weston mark. In a shot like this I think he would have captured more curves and avoided a central focal point. As it is, I think you ended up with pie slices instead of compelling form.

Brilliant! It was a delayed reaction for me to see what I think I'm supposed to see. I think very Weston. Well played. I just wish it had richer darks.

Awesome. Lighting, focus, and framing are all very Weston. The light colored peppers are perfect. The dark one in the center really detracts from the shot for me. It looks too common or ordinary. It makes it clear we're looking at peppers and it's form is definitely not a star (like for the others).

Awesome. I'd like it even more if the darks were darker or at least more dark. I don't know why. I think for more Westoniness there needs to be more balance. Probably just me.

Very nice. Great detail with perfect focus. I love the dark/light contrast. I especially like the subtly lighter background versus the even darker sweater. The sense of emotion is great. Great shot!

The you have captured your subjects, form isn't the star it needs to be to echo Weston. Maybe tight cropping on the underside of the toadstool on the left would work better. Very brave to submit in color :).

The subject isn't captured in what I think is a Weston way. Instead of being slightly puzzled by form being flattened almost to abstract, this just looks like a gorgeous shot of flowers. Having the entire subject(s) in focus would really help, but I think you need to look at your subject differently. Perhaps where the flower on the left meets the stem would have more promise in my opinion.

The subject blends in with the rest too much, and at least based on the Weston shots I recall, this needs more contrast. Maybe it's just a Weston style I don't care for as much.

I love the shot but it doesn't look very Weston to me. Instead of being focused on form in an abstract-ish kind of way, this comes off more as a formless abstract collage. Aside from the Westoniness, I really like it!
