Greetings from the CC, the idea here is not bad however technically I have a few thoughts. Keep in mind the backgrounds of what you are shooting, i.e. in this shot it would of been eay to move the chair so it is not in the frame. Shooting on aperature priority (if possible) or portrait mode would create a greater depth of field allowing us to focus more on the subject than the extraneous details. A central compostion is very hard to pull off IMO, moving your subject off to left or right can do lots to add a bit of interest to a shot. Also IMO i think you need to be careful with borders, sometimes they can enhance an image, other times they detract from it, really need to ask self which you would like to accomplish.
just some thoughts, hope it helps.
p.s. I admire your willingness to set a printer on fire for a shot!
The fire is very nicely exposed, but the printer destruction seems pointless. Crop in really tight to minimize the distracting furniture and don't bother with the border- would you really frame this?
The concept is good and I really hope that was an old printer you torched! I'm not usually one to complain about borders but the thick orange part of the border tries to steal a lot of eye time from the actual picture - it may be because the image space is quite small.
o.k. a burning printer, but totally taken out of its normal environment. I am not suggesting you should have set it on fire in your house but some more attention to the surroundings would have helped here.
Just wondering what you were going to do with that old printer, eh? The border is way too much and the picture is so- so. The printer might have been move more towards the center of the table and I think you might have considered pulling the chairs out of the frame.
Wow. BUT that background is so banal and distracting. Presumign this was a staged shot (!) then it would have been greatly improved by a background more in context or totally neutral 9black, white etc.
This is a dramatic image, but I wish it had been isolated. The table, chair, grass and dog face detract from the moment. This could have been a winner!
This would have been more effective (I feel) if you had taken the back gorund out of it. Not very convincing this way. Still a neat idea and good image. BOL
