 Part of being an artist is, I think, to have to ability to look at the world and still be amazed at how beautiful and complex it is.

I don't think this is a good photo, I definitly don't have to appropriate equipment at the moment to make it the way I'd like to. But still, I like the idea.

Greetings from the Critique Club.

Composition: The composition of this photograph is its strongest point. You have used the “other” rule of thirds; using three objects. The three paint brushes, the three lights and the three dabs of paint all echo this and the repetition is very pleasing to the eye. The fact that all of these elements are laid out in a triangle gives a certain strength to the photograph.

Colors: Other than the colors of the lights, the colors seem a bit muted, especially on the paint which screams to be vivid. Most of your whites are not truly white, which could be a function of your lighting.

Technical Quality: The total technical quality of this shot seems a bit weak. I think you could improve it if you had a studio setup with proper lighting. I do think for what you had to work with, you did a fair job.

Meeting Challenge: This indeed does meet the challenge and adds a humorous quality to it as well.

Overall: Overall this is a pleasant photograph but does not keep my attention for very long. Its a wonderful idea though, and one I feel you might go back and re-visit on another day. Overall I do like this photograph and you have shown you have a very creative eye for composition.

Like the face in the palette. don't think you need the lights up top though. Sort of redundant if you ask me (which you didn't ;) ). 5

You have created a fascinating face / expression. Nice one.

You could have gotten rid of the bulbs on top. It would have looked better IMO

I might have tried a different background. Some of the specks and spots might have blended in and provided a cleaner appearance.
