I'm not sure that this meets the 'spirit' of the challenge, but since it technically does, I'll let that pass without marking off for it. However, if I were a fashion magazine editor, I would have to take a 'pass' on using this photo for a couple of reasons. 1- While close-ups or macros do indeed appear in some designer ads, they are always crisp and clear throughout the entire picture. 2 - When these close-ups appear, they are usually shown 'in context' (a cuff on a model's arm, for example). 3 - The composition is visually boring. There is nothing that leads the eye from one spot to another in the photo; the eye simply jumps around trying to make sense of it.
Also, I don't know if this is the actual color of the item. It _looks_ like it was added in post processing. So, again, if the color was added after the fact, this would be another cause to not use the photo.
I know that this isn't a very positive critique, but I hope at least some of it will be helpful to you. |
