I would've liked it a little sharper. :)

Not sure what to focus on here.

Nice and colourful but it's blurry. 6

The colors and color combinations are good. This image is composed well and had great promise, but falls short in technical merit. Overall image quality is low. The vase with the flower is the main subject of this image but the background is in better focus and should not be. Greater depth of field is needed here. The splotches on the background are a major distraction.

not sure if the soft focus is intentional, but it is distracting.

nice picture and subject placement... too bad its somewhat out of focus

This could be improved by more careful focussing and less harsh lighting to get rid of the ugly shadow.
the composition is very attractive albeit cluttered ,it seems to work as an abstract.

looks out of focus

Focus seems off and background is very distracting.

Gorgeous, simply gorgeous. 10/10

I think the shapes and colors here could be a cool abstract, arty looking photo. For me, the large plastic flower being out of focus hurts the photo a lot. I would like to see all of this in crisp focus and the lighting a bit brighter to make the colors "pop" more.

A couple of problems with this image:
1. The image is a bit too blurry (although I realize this could be an equipment limitiation issue) Maybe try using a tripod or better lighting and a faster shutter speed.
2. The positioning of the subject lends itself to an uncomfortable depth of field issue with the flower in the vase. Perhaps standing the drawing up and using it as a backdrop would have been better. It also would have helped you avoid the harsh shadow of the vase.
Just a few suggestions. :)

I think that this shot is a little busy with the colored background. A single color background would make your oranges jump out more. This also seems to me to be a little soft in focus. This makes it look blurry with all the elements here. A soft focus effect would probably have more impact with the solid background too with these warm orange tones.

I really love this collection of objects and the mixed hues of orange
03/25/2004 02:01:43 AM
way to soft, way too busy
03/24/2004 06:50:37 PM
I think both daisies need to be in focus to pull this off.

Interesting colors and composition, but the focus lacks clarity.
03/24/2004 08:08:22 AM
What is in focus?
03/24/2004 04:41:54 AM
That plastic flower is funny, too bad is so blured and soo aou of the composition...
