Reflections?by
ChuckieComment by Gracious: Greetings from the Critique Club!
Your idea of using a reflection is a good one, but the execution of the idea needs a little work.
The focus isn't real sharp. when I see the brick beside the vending machine that becomes even more evident.
The inclusion of the softdrink cooler doesn't add virtue to the picture. It actually distracts, and competes with the vending machine.
The subject, the vending machine, isn't by nature a very interesting subject, however it could be if focused on a part of it, like the 3 rows of empty circles where snacks have been depleted. If you cropped to that, and perhaps tilted the camera, you'd have an interesting abstract of a repititious pattern. That's just my first idea, although there are others. There is always more than one way to compose an image, and you want to grab the attention of the viewer.
Perhaps a vertical format would have excluded the unnecessary elements.
I'll look forward to seeing your next submission. Enjoy yourself!
Regards,
Grayce
