First of all, this shot has some good potential - the flowers are nicely in focus, and the diagonal line adds interest to the shot; where this photograph loses the viewer, however, is in the colour. The white balance is pretty significantly off - you definitely need to go warmer with this one if you're going to stay with colour; the vividness of the yellow colour against the gloom of the backdrop would be very effective if the yellow shade were corrected. Alternatively, this would look great in black and white. For this particular challenge, I'm not really seeing a lot of good grain - there is some colour noise that is more of a detriment than anything else in the greens - again, I would recommend colour correction or desaturation. In this case, the grain doesn't add to the mood, because it is not a true, all-over grain. I do like the composition/crop, however, and with a tish of sharpening this would be as clear as you could want. Colour work is really all this needs. Good luck! |
