Challenge: Yellow (Classic Editing)
Camera: Nikon Coolpix 995
Location: CLEVELAND HOME AND FLOWER SHOW
Date: Feb 15, 2003
Galleries: Abstract
Date Uploaded: Feb 15, 2003

This photo was taken at the Cleveland Home and Garden Show at one of the booths selling candles. I really did not et a chance to rearrange the candles, or take a lot of different angles due to the crowd of people at the show. I had one or twho nice pictures of flowers, but I hesitated to use them because of the recent cliches challenge.

CRITIQUE CLUB

I think it's great that you took the time to take this at a show. It changed my critique quite a bit! If you had taken this at home, I would recommend maybe lighting them, and cutting down on how many you used a little, but, knowing now that you took them at a show, here's my critique!

LIGHTING: You took advantage of great lighting without having to use any of your own. I can see your flash glare, but that can be easily touched up in an editing program.

CHALLENGE: Definitely meets the yellow challenge. There were so many BRIGHT yellow entries, that this one may have gotten lost in the shuffle, and come off a little pale to some people.

SUBJECT: Cute and fun to look at. Definitely brings to mind warmth, and I can practically smell the vanilla and envision the show.

POST CHALLENGE SUGGESTIONS: Now that the challenge is over, I would recommend toning down the glare, and maybe putting a soft "fog" border around this. Really, overall it's a great shot, and I'm impressed you caught it in a crowd!

The candles are yellow for sure, so you met the challenge. The crop is good but somehow the light of the flash (or lighting) on the top candle is distracting me, it seems a little glary there. My wife just said to me it would have been better if one or two of the candles were lit, and come to think of it I agree with her. I think the light would have been completely different that way. You could have had less ambient light and a slower shutter speed to create a cool effect.
