Greetings from the Critique Club
Pretty picture that certainly nailed the Challenge, and you were given quite good marks by our voters.
I have just a couple of suggestions, because this could become quite an exciting image. The spots on the glass immediately caught my attention. If it's because of the bubbles, I have no solution (except to use clear, still liquid instead of carbonated). Next, as some of your commentors suggested, depth of field is very shallow. I would suggest that you use a tripod (if you don't already) and set your ISO to around 100, and, using aperture priority, vary your aperture from (oh, say) f5.6 to f22 or even higher; your camera can do it nicely. This should make everything all the way back nice and sharp.
Finally, I like your lighting a lot, except for that patch of white to the mid-left side. Because it attracts attention away from your main subject, if you could tone that down it would help.
Well, I said 'finally' but one more thing. I'm of two minds about the level of the yellow liquid. Because it makes the yellow stand out a bit, it's fun; because it's different from the others, it makes the picture a little unsettling. All in all, I think I like it (FWIW).
Looks as if you are enjoying your DPC experience. I'll look forward to seeing more of your work. |
