Greetings from the Critique Club!
I found myself wanting to like this image more than I did. I like the colors quite a bit. The flower and star sequins are particularly pretty. I think it is the randomness of the composition that detracts from my enjoyment of the subject matter. The pale round beads don't add much interest yet there are quite a few of them in the frame. The lavender object at the right of the frame, while very pretty, isn't a strong focal point.
Therein the problem lies. There doesn't appear to be a main focal point for the eye to rest on long enough to create a satisfying viewing experience. If I were viewing this through a kaleidascope the changeable nature of the toy would create the pleasing viewing experience I'm after. As a still life, this is just too busy for me. You don't mention how many shots you took before settling on this one. It is possible that without enough attempts, the very randomness of the nature of kaleidoscopes would have yielded a more pleasing arrangement then this one. It is certainly worth experimenting with again if you are motivated to do so.
I am impressed at the quality of the image considering you took it from a kaleidascope. That can't have been easy. |
