Round Circles Candle

Comment by EL-ROI:
The use of monochromatic colors is tricky as there has to be separation and commonality all captured with light and shadow. The object has good shapes for the challenge.

I thought this may have been yours, but was not sure. I gave it a 5. The light looks rather flat, as if it were lit straight on from the camera direction. Something from the side may have brought out some of the nice details in those bottles and flowers. Your problem with the colors was definitely fixed with the white balance change to auto. That is looking much better.

I find this too busy, and the pepper feels like a distraction rather than being the main subject.

Overall, I like this. IMO, it may have been stronger without the bank at the top.

It might just be me, but I think of a self portrait including the face or at least a silhouette of the head. I do love your treasures!

A good idea, but like others, it comes off to me as soft and lacking detail. Not sure why this is occurring.

Feedback per your recent request: I gave this a 6, mostly for the interesting macro shot and fitting the topic quite literally. But it came off to me as soft and the colors are odd. I see a very slow shutter speed. I can sometimes manage a slow speed like that with my Olympus, but it is iffy and often wont allow for any cropping.

On my Vanity

Comment by Yo_Spiff:
Critique per your request: The light isn't anything interesting here. The main subject appears to be the brooch. The highlights on it seems a little overexposed, so it loses detail. Most of the remainder of the image is out of focus, so there really isn't anything for the viewer's eye to grab onto.
