The hand sells this image for me!

I like the idea (and I love popcorn). The mood set by the photo is great. The picture seems to suffer due to the strong light reflected on the thumb and index finger on the hand, the harsh reflections on the pot handle, and the strong reflection on the top edge of the box. I can appreciate the difficulty of lighting such a scene. The colors do not appear natural. White balance issue? There appear to be severe artifacts from in camera or post processing? The popcorn should be more in focus for my tastes. With all of this said, I still think it is a fine effort, and please take my comments in the spirit of constructive criticism.

Makes ME hungry, so this ad does the job! Very nice picture.

Not sure about the hand.. the angle that it is coming from seems wrong and it might be better without it.

If you could have moved the black cloth on the background further away so there would be less light on it.

This reminds me of the old Jiffy Pop ads. Well done.

Being able to see the creases in and the edge of your black cloth is a little distracting. Also, the popcorn in front is a little washed out, so someof the detail is lost. I like the hand in the picture for some reason. Adds another element to the picture I guess.

nice, would love to see a little more light on the product label, but i really like the hand picking out some corn, nice touch

background is too obvious, making it seem very 'set up'
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Yum, this looks good! The only thing I see is that your backdrop is distracting. Next time try to get it smooth.

Good lighting! The dark background, with the light falling on the popcorn and the hand, nice colors on the box. Makes me want some right now!

I really like the thought that has gone into the setup of this shot. Watch out for the background cloth though ... you can see the folds in your material

Fruit flavours for popcorn? If I didn't know it was apple flavoured, I think those piles of popcorn would look tempting :). I don't know that the black backdrop really works though, especially since the pot that the popcorn is in is also black, and the lighting seems not to have caught the box the right way. My eyes are drawn more to that hand than to the box.

popcorn on a black cloth just doesnt have that professional feel
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/06/2002 10:18:00 PM
I think this would have been better w/o the hand. You could have had teh background fade away the, instead of having it appear obvious.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
05/06/2002 02:31:00 PM
something needs to be done to improve the lighting, it is too strong from the top
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I love popcorn! I like your layout here as well. The only issue I have with this photo is the background behind the box... The wrinkles in the material are slightly distracting from the photo but it's overwhelming at all. Good job!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Good advertisement! I like the hand! A little more light on the box, please. Photo 9 Advert 10 Creativity 9 total 9

i think a lighter background would have been better

Looks professional

Nicely done, just need more light on the box.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Overall it's GREAT but the creases in the fabric are distracting and so are the white specs in front of the popcorn.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

Good idea, nice setup. The only thing I would change is making the box brighter than the actual popcorn. Great job!

Great. Looks right out of a magazine.

The hand and popcorn on the left is nicely lit, but the rest of the image lacks good lighting. Otherwise it's an excellent idea, and the framing is good.

this is excellent. it looks like a real ad! you could iron your background - those creases do show up.. otherwise perfecto!

Ewwww who would want one pack of this let alone ten? Nice shot though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I love the photo. I'm not to crazy about seeing the cloth. I think if it were smooth and just looked like background it would have worked better.
