My wife has a very old Eeoyore also, though maybe not quite as old (eyes are different), but the fabric looks the same.
Anyhow, not sure about the comments below. Frankly that, jbridges, really wasn't complimenting the image...
Okay as for the photo, it is a bit lacking. I see what you were trying to do and it was a good idea. A couple of things, the angle is crooked. Sometimes this works, but the subject is too centered in the frame and just seems a bit contrived. Here I think you might actually want everything in focus, well especially the foot. The shadows, which I think was part of the intent here, is a good idea, but they are a little too flat/down and seem like a mistake. If you elogate the shadows or have an additional light source I think this would help tremendously.
It's not a horrible photo, and the idea is great. I love the way the light is a gradient out to the darkness, very nice. I just think it needs to be staged a bit differently.
I must say though, that I really like your stuff in your general portfolio. These challenges can be tough but a good learning experience (espeically for me). Plus, I'm not expert; I get scores worse than this sometimes, so take it for what it is worth.
Cheers, happy shooting and welcome to the club. |
