Your lighting is very poor and uneven, and I think the wood is really unnecessary. I'd save a few more dollars and fill the whole image with cans :)
07/21/2002 11:44:00 PM
This might be fun to try with them all lying down side by side with a dof fading in the back.

Average for me - a 5. Looks like flash dominated middle boards. Perhaps # cans should have dominated the photo, not the background.

now that's a caffeine rush ;)

OK, someone like Pepsi WAY too much. But beyond that, I find myself simply just thinking, "Ummmm, ok." Trying to figure out what this shot is supposed to convey and I'm just not getting it. About the only suggestion I can make is that you stack enough of the cans so that you could shoot an entire "wall" of them instead of just two rows -- the table and windowblind aren't doing anything for your presentation.
07/20/2002 08:51:00 PM
Hmm...would I be impressed or depressed if all the little tab-pushers were obviously up indicating a stack of empty cans?
07/20/2002 11:35:00 AM
I like the concept of the photo, the color and symmetry of the cans, and the reflection in front. I think that the background weakens the shot though and should have been a solid white or high contrast color. I think also to crop the front so the table edge doesn't show or better yet, to have more front surface to reflect the full image of the cans.

A different angle may have added a little interest on this....maybe. As it is it isn''t too interesting.
07/19/2002 12:14:00 PM
you were obviously trying to create a repeating pattern here, and the idea is good, however, i would've cropped the shot so that the cans at either side are partially cropped off, implying a continuation, and i would've also turned the labels to face all the same way. not sure how i would've used the space above the cans, i think it's too much and detracts from the repeating pattern aspect. just my thoughs. -- gr8photos (4)

addition: just occured to me, it would've been fun to fill the frame with the cans and place one different can (coke?) in there somewhere just to create a break in the pattern.

It's tilted to the right. Object on the left is ditracting. Good choice of blue-yellow contrast, but use of flash is bad choice. Also, geting closer and capturing only details could work much better. Good effort.

Need to have better lighting for this shot. Also could of been cooler if the wall was not as wide and another level higher or the cans completely filling the frame.
07/18/2002 06:04:00 PM
The blinds in the BG are a distraction and while we have some repetitive objects there's not much novelty or interest in the capture.
07/18/2002 12:41:00 PM
Interesting subject matter
07/18/2002 08:22:00 AM
A warhol thing? not sure what part the blinds play
07/18/2002 01:42:00 AM
This didn't inspire me much either way... Technically, I think a closer crop that excluded the space on the right and left of the cans. The blinds are kind of interesting, but there's too much of it for my taste.
07/17/2002 02:50:00 PM
better consistancy in the lighting would make this shot appear better
07/17/2002 01:59:00 PM
Would it have been possible to get a different "stack" instead of just two rows. Maybe a pyramid or something. The open wall/blinds makes it seem like it needs something. Or fill the frame up with Pepsi, even if you couldn't include all of the cans.
07/17/2002 01:03:00 PM
i hate pepsi. and this photo doesn't entice the eye.
07/17/2002 04:19:00 AM
my second diet pepsi can collection will destroy yours, with over 260 cans sitting on my desk at work from the last 4 months alone. :)
07/17/2002 12:43:00 AM
pepsi cans underexposed?
07/16/2002 06:01:00 PM
the lighting should bring out the colour. maybe a natural light.
07/16/2002 05:28:00 AM
hmm, just a little bit. They're coming out with a Berry Pepsi next month - just thought i'd share that info - I enjoy pepsi this much as well ;) it's too bad they didn't fill the shot tho.
07/15/2002 08:07:00 PM
Contact Pepsi, maybe they will buy it. Decent shot, no real glaring problems. 5 Swash
07/15/2002 05:45:00 PM
pepsi's very good
07/15/2002 04:12:00 PM
Pepsi, no Coke! Sorry old SNL skit. Fun shot. Kee
07/15/2002 03:02:00 PM
Perhaps if you had come in closer, to get rid of left side thing, would have made the logo that much clearer, and would have gotten rid of more of whatever the cans are sitting on, turned up the lighting, and made sure all the cans were facing in more of a patternistic way - just my thoughts. Of course it may be my biased opinion, I'm a Coke drinker ;P Good job. ~ cthenk

Would have been a better picture (need to crop to the left a little bit) MJ 4
07/15/2002 11:11:00 AM
Looks like the beginning of a large collection ;-) But not a picture I am going to frame and hang on the wall. What light source are you using, it's way hot in the center and drops off fast toward the edges of the image.
07/15/2002 06:43:00 AM
I'm not sure what the intention is on this photo.. I would like to have seen more visual and artistic impact for the free study challenge... = 4 - jmsetzler

Not a bad subject, but the angle isn't very interesting. Try this shot again using a more dramatic angle, and you'll have a better picture. A extreme perspective shot with the cans going off into the distance, for example.
