When shooting anything as small as these items are, it's a lot better if you can use a monopod to hold the camera steady. I guess that to get this, you had to go with what you had in hand. Another trick that I use often is to set the self timer to 2 seconds, which helps a lot with camera shake when I push the shutter button.
Composition could be improved by trimming off the bottom and left third, and ending up with the subjects in a diagonal , corner to corner. There is a lot of dark space, even though it has texture, in the left and lower areas that is not really adding punch to the effect of the shot.
I guess that what I am trying to say is to try to zoom or move in closer to the primary subjects if you can, when you shoot.
Keep shooting and enter often. A side challenge is a great way to find friends here, and get tons of good feedback if you have time to get into one. |
