Saw a similar shot over at Photosig -- don't think it's your work -- the dice look different. As silly as this will sound, it looks like you had a hair on the negative -- over on the left hand die at the top. The light coming out of the foreground holes is just a little too hot -- like the way it looks on the ones in the back better. I'm also gonna be picky in a stupid way. I know you meant for the 4 and 3 that point toward the camera to indicate the lucky number 7. But one of the dice actually has either a 6 or a 1 pointed up, and the other hase either a 5 or a 2. So this roller rolled either, 3, 6, 8, or 11. :-) Like I said being honery just for the sake of it. :-)
baby needs a new pair of shoes. i like this. i think i saw something similar on photosig - maybe that was yours also .. i would suggest slightly reducing the intensiity of the lights behind the collander, or using a little more fill. nice shot
Lovin' it. Really great. Only one small thing. Whatever material is under the dice, is a little scratchy and distracting. If it was perfectly smooth, it would truly be an awesome photo. But I still like this very much. Great Work. Ruthann
Wonderful tabletop shot. Good reflections, strong, but not dominating the frame. The ceiling lights work well to draw the eye and encircle the subjects. Excellent work!
I'm sure Thomas Dybeck would be flattered! This is a good rendition of his 'Game of Dice 2' but what I like about his that seems to be lacking in yours is the softness - you don't see the crisp sharpness of the holes in the colander or the dots on the dice. I think you have the lighting down, but perhaps if you got a bigger colander and backed up - then again, perhaps you weren't out to duplicate but to borrow? In any case it's very good. 7 cthenk
I think this is a really neat concept :) I think that the image would be better if the light in the holes in front of the dice was toned down a bit and not so bright... = 8 - jmsetzler
Nice picture and concept. Black adn white works well I think, though it might also be interesting to do with some of those gel colored dice and colored lights too. This would be a great poster in a rec room. karmat
I dig it. The lights and reflections work well here. But I think I'd like to see the lights extending to the top of the frame. Also the line on the bottom right is distracting. PS - I just saw a similar shot on photosig - your inspiration?
Wow, cool picture, let me know if i'm wrong - something smeared on the glass to catch the light from below. Only nitpick is the bit of dust on the left die.
