Greetings from the Critique Club :)

Hi Aurora...

The composition on this photograph is good... I like the red color of the Coke can agains the dark background. Red always stands out very nicely.

The primary problem with this photo is the focus. There is no reason that I can see for it to be out of focus. Soft focus should add some interesting element to a photograph. This photo resembles product photography like you would see in a magazine. Sharp focus should be part of this image :)

Keep up the good effort :)

if the soft-focus is on purpose, it doesn't work for me

Nice sujbect. Would need a bit more focus and I'd like to see the subject dead centre (rule of thirds doesn't always work). Jacko. 6

Needed better lighting.

Too dark and out of focus.

It's out of focus and too dark. I like the perspective on the can however.

Sharper focus coupled with depth of field would have improved this image in my opinion.

Great idea. You see coke cans everywhere anymore. The image could have been a little sharper, but i still like it.

Too dark and not a very clear focus. The red doesn't look authenic. The cropping being just a hair off center is distracting - either centered or more off center would have been better. This is my favorite drink and I have one right now. That's how I knew it color was off, for sure. And these are just my personal opinions.

good try

needs to be sharper... if your camera has a macro function you should use it... if not, you can take a magnifing glass and hold it near your lens to sharpen things up a bit...

Not focused very well.

i like the richness of the red can with the dark background.

Good cliche.

Good idea. Perhaps a little more light on the can and it seems a bit out of focus....
