Greetings from the Critique Club.
Great idea. A very creative take on pop culture. But I don't really care for the execution. The composition doesn't seem balanced--it's a bit bottom-heavy. I do like the shape of the background (the negative space), but I think zooming out or moving back would have improved the composition.
The color is interesting. Burning out the blue wall to make it white is fine for the background, but the light it reflects gives a blue outline to the CD's and the lettering that I don't particularly like and a blueish cast to the toaster, which I do like. Except it doesn't really go with the brown spots. I like the texture of the dirty toaster, but not the color.
The other technical aspects (focus, exposure, etc.) are great. I especially like the glare around the metal edges, which nicely define the edges without being so bright to be distracting. And nice color on the CD's. (DVD's??) |
