I'm not sure why I did averagely in this challenge and unfortunately received no comments to help me improve. I'd really appreciate some comments.
Thanks!

| Wow, cant believe you received zero comments! Normally you get at least one with 'nice shot'. Anyways, I've left you a comment on the image, hopefully it's constructive and will give you some things to think about when you set up future shots. I assume you're fairly new to photography so hope you dont find my comment too condescending. |

I was going to say something but read moodville's comment and just went like... whoa! that's deep... now what I wanted to say will sound so shallow that I'm ashamed to say it out, LOL!
Anyway, I was gonna say I like the mood and composition (I like blue lighting, for some personal reason) but the highlights and different-coloured streaks are distracting. Also it looks like you did this at the edge of the table... I think it would have been done better if the base and background were uniform in colour or at least have a smooth transition rather than the harsh transition here.
Hope this makes sense...

| Perhaps your entry did a little less than it deserved because cd's have been used a lot in past challenges, and in some minds at least, are approaching cliche status. I would have liked a little crisper focus. The marks on the cd in front of the beads, the red line, the black dot mid left are distracting. I gave it a 5. Not a bad start, GL in the next. |

moodville: Not at all condescending. I am new to photography. :)
Adrian: Thanks for the advice. it was taken at the edge of the table. I think I'll try the same shot again with your suggestions.
collhar: I agree the red streaks and marks were distracting, but as we're not allowed to spot edit I left the image the way it is. I supose I'lll be more careful next time when setting up the shot.
Thanks all for your comments. :) |
