While the ducky is in front and (off) center there is too many elements in the background that serve to distract the eye from the main focus. The background it too busy (stuff inside the message container, toothbrush, plant, towel, soap dispenser, faucet, another ducky, etc..). Sometimes simplifying the composition down to a few key elements goes a long way in creating a strong composition. The colors and patterns on this unique ducky are interesting to look at. The duck is your main subject so you want to keep the eye's attention focused primarily on it with just a few other elements to help boost interest. The title of your piece has the Ducky imparting the message of "Have a Nice Day". The title and the ceramic container with that message tells me that it was meant to be a supporting element in your composition. However you have it regulated as one of the background elements that it gets lost in the busy background. I think that it would improve the composition greatly if you moved the container with the message up alongside the duck. A solid color or simple backdrop with as few objects or elements as possible would help keep the attention tightly focused on your main subject(s). Lastly your lighting is very good in the photo. The main subject is wonderfully illuminated and the color is bright & bold. There are no harsh shadows, no off cast tinges that color the duck or surrounding with an off tint, and no hard glare on any reflective surfaces. |
