Firstly, I can see what you are going for here, and you have something really good to build on. But I would like to offer some constructive input to help take this photo from mundane to more exciting.
1. The lighting here is very flat, and underexposed. Looks like it's just normal overhead lighting with no direction to it. This makes it so the background is just as prominent as the subject.
2. The three objects are competing for attention. I feel like the hat has the most visual interest, so I would focus more on that, while allowing the other objects to become supporting elements. I would do this by changing my position so I was lower to the ground. Then I would use a shallower depth of field to make sure the bow is in focus, and the rest goes out of focus.
3. Finally, I would choose to position the objects differently. In this photo, they all lean to the left, which makes it feel like the right side of the image is heavy. Either the book or the chocolate box tilted the other way would help balance the image visually.
I truly hope this helps you! |
