Greetings from the Critique Club!...
COMPOSITION... Composition here is mostly good - I am slightly distracted from some of the background elements that are not part of the flowers - a piece of glass, etc... but fortunately the surrounding environment is dark and so the flowers stand out more.. I don't know how moveable these flowers were, but I imagine the probably could have been arranged so that the glass object is hidden, and maybe cropped a little tighter on the upper right to remove the distractions there.
TECHNIQUE... The lighting is sort of a catch-22... As it stands, it feels too uneven, with highlights in the photo blown out. But increasing exposure would have shown more of the background, which may have also hurt the picture. I'm just not sure here... If this is natural light (and I'm making the assumption it is), there is not much else to do other than trying to shift the placement of the object to photograph so it is in less direct light, or diffusing the light itself by hanging any translucent material (drapes?) over the windows to soften the light. Lots of shadows here too. Can make a dramatic photo, I like them in there anyway, but if thats not your intent, then setting up reflectors to throw some of the light back might be a good idea as well. (or if not to reduce the amount of shadows, it may also help in evening out the applied light). |
