Centerpieceby
jnenvirComment by photokariangel: This is Kari Ann, greetings from the
Critique Club:
composition: too center, try different compositions to grab the eyes and make them want to look at it
color: a little dull, perhaps a bump in saturation or more background color would have enhanced it.
contrast: good contrast, a little more on the subject couldn't of hurt though
focus: good focus, nice and clear on the subject
depth of field: i am liking this shallow depth of field, really gives a sense to how small this is
lighting: too flat, needs a bit more variety to spice things up a bit.
other: As other commenters said, this lacked in a lot of ways. The composition is really lacking in anything creative, its right in the middle with no leading lines to help the eye stay focused. a rule of thirds position may have helped this. Second, the subject was hard to understand and did not pack enough punch to make the viewers even care about what the picture is of. and third, the light is way too normal and bland for this type of subject, it needed some back lighting, or 3/4 lighting to show off more interesting textures. I hope this doesn't sound too harsh, im just trying to help you improve. Another viewer commented on how a closer crop or a macro shot of this would have been better. I agree, a more abstract or diverse angle on this situation could have helped your score ten fold. Keep on trying new and different approaches to your photography, and if you have any other questions, feel free to PM me anytime.
