INITIAL RESPONSE: NIce textures, nice origamis, love the middle 'ball' .. composition could have been better .. all the lower 1/3 is empty.

COMPOSITION-CONTENT - I think you brought the right items for this composition . The ball is really very nice ... I think however they could have been placed better .... the picture looked 'unbalanced' with the liwer 1/3 of the picture empty. ALl the textures are very niceand the reflections well controlled (some but not too much).

BACKGROUND : Very good idea to have used the marble .. it 's nice and appropriate. However, there is already an ampty spce in the lower part of the picture, the white part of the marble does not help and add to this feeling.

CAMERA WORK-TECHNICAL- Good depth of field and exposure .. nothing special .. I think the light is nice .. some reflection but not too much.

DIGITAL PROCESSING - TECHNICAL - Nothing specific except some noise on the right 'bright' animal.

MY OPINION ON THE PHOTO - I usually do not like 'setup' when diferent objects or items are brought together to tell a story, except if they are already like this in the reality. In that case it did not bother me at all I am even attracted buy the composition and the story. However I think you could improved on the composition. I would retry the shot if you still have the items. And nice origamis by the way !

I never could cut and fold that paper like that. That is an art. If you pull back and look carefully it looks like they are standing at the edge of a little pool of water. I like your background very much. Good focus . Nice composition with good execution. PTL 7

Think this phot is really cool- like the way you can see the reflection of blue from the glass ball on the marble!

the lighting is very good. the composition could be improved, there is nothing in the foreground and the edge of the surface shows at the bottom left.

I'm wondering if you tried any close up shots of the dragon(?) on the right. Could be interesting to try.

lol I almost went to an origami show... good thing I didn't or we woulda been two with the same original plan! :o) I like how the light refracts through the globe... but overall the pic looks like it could be a bit less bright

I would have tried some different lighting. I like the way you put this on the marble somewhat reflecting surface, as the shine of blue it gives off is very nice... this is cute, but maybe next time try not putting them all in almost a line... one of the origami's diagonal might have been nice? Good job, and good luck!
