Abstracts, Spring Catalogue — Pg. 87
by rooum

Comment:
As this is the first one of the "abstract" entries I come across in voting, I'll comment on this only; your companions will read it anyway.
I understand that someone who believes an artistic photograph has to be blurry, under- or overexposed, sepiatoned b/w with an unidentifiable, but in any case dirty or rotten subject must hate a "product shot" challenge. But that is what makes DPC a good place: a wide range of subjects to choose from and no pressure to enter or to vote- if you like tack sharp flower shots or appetizing food-shots like I do there's a load of opportunities as well as for those that like expressionist work or grungy close-ups. Don't try to change DPC or the average voters opinion, you will fail, rather find the niche you fit into.
Don't expect this to do badly, so you can say you are misjudged genius - there's always some people (at least the rest of your circle) that will give out high votes for humor (though I find the load of abstracts annoying), or for an emotion that your work will unintentionally evoke. It will do mediocre, like you probably are.
5, to help you over your hurt feelings.

shot suffers from way too much processing. the passer-by perspective is quite boring.

Comment:
nice graphic composition, like how the logo was included. might be cropped too tightly for most voters.

Comment:
if the product you present is the powder, it should be in focus. crops is a bit close for my taste. besides that nice picture.

Technically very well done shot, good loighting, but I think voters are a bit tired of black backgrounds
