in interesting idea, and the beginnings of a very nice image, with interesting symbolism.
however, the set up makes it very hard to read the image. the small silver object on the left is very hard to read - a diamond ring? a pencil sharpener? if this were shot from a higher angle, with all the objects closer to each other, it would make a more dramatic composition.
the flash is also very harsh, creating a very bright foreground where there is nothing happening. ambient light, while somewhat harder to shoot in, probably would create a more pleasing result here. even filtering the flash with a piece of white paper would soften the effect, and make a gentler light.
so, a good start, and keep shooting! |
