Wow. What can I say. I really love this photo (my fave of the challenge). The choice to shoot it in portrait with everything rotated 90 degrees is really nice. It makes me focus on the form and geometry instead of having the type dominate the photo. I also spend more time looking at it to read the words, but I can enjoy the form of the letters too. The gold knob and text on the right are balanced really well by the gold rivet in the top left. The sheer number of round objects in the frame also helps to give a sense of patterns and balance. On top of all that, your lighting and DOF are superb. AND who on this site doesn't love a subject that is about photography.
I like to try and give a little constructive criticism in most of my comments if I think the photograph could benefit from it. I struggle to find much to say in that regard for this photo. Everything feels like it was straight out of the camera too, with little done in post (idk if this is true or not but thats how it looks) and that is a really great thing. Maybe you could have tried to tone down the brightness of the knob on the right side of the photo so it isn't so white, but even that IDK if it would make the image better without seeing it first, bc the brightness gives the knob shine and contrasts it nicely to the worn metal plate below it. So just a thought, but idk if it is even really necessary.
Great job. |
