On my monitor this is showing up very, very dark. Is this intentional? Also I think this would be nicer without the label, but it's personal taste. I'd score it higher without, and brightened up a bit. 5 Gracious aka Grayce
The part of the apple I see is very nice, what happened to the rest of the apple? The large amount of negative space.....I don't understand why. Good focus on the label, very clear. 7 Swash
nice attempt, but it's just too dark. and the label is the main focus, which isn't very interesting. i'm also not a big fan of "negative space" style shots that place the subject near the top. it makes me feel like the top of the picture is missing, since the subject is "pointing" up, not down. (this placement works when the subject seems to be pointing down). a good effort, but definitely needs more light.
I like the darkness but just want a tiny tiny bit more light. Not enough to light the whole apple which would make it too boring but as it stands it's just too dark and undefined for me. Kavey
I like the atmosphere you have created, and the subject is clearly definable. However, whilst I assume this is intentional on your part, I do think it is just a little too dark. Good luck⦠(5)
I'm sure I'm not going to be the only person to tell you that this seems a bit too dark. I would also think that the idea could have been better executed without the sticker.
Negative space is this week :-) How many comments like this will you get ? Where V&F is concerned, it is a great picture. Very clever lighting if not too much so. It would have been nice to see more highlight of the stalk ??
sorry, this image is way too dark on my monitor (and most of the others look ok, so i'm tempted to conclude your photo is actually very dark). all i can make out is the sticker, a little bit of the right side of the apple and the highlight from the lightsource. the rest is black. even if it was a little lighter, i wonder if a landscape format would've been nicer, or moving the apple down so that there's not so much empty space in the foreground. -- gr8photos.
