Oh no! You have an entry without a single comment?! Here's one from me - hope you don't take offense, but know that it is meant with the best intentions, even if I am no dazzling photographer myself:-)
I think the subject is so simple and straightforward that it has potential. Would probably be really fun to experiment with different lighting and composition with the same setup. It's also the perfect kind of composition to practice post-processing skills with. I didn't vote on this image, but if I had, I might have given it a 4 or a 5, and probably towards the 4 side. The lighting is a bit harsh and that really takes my attention away from whatever the subject is (the rings in this case). The repetitive idea is good. Still, I think that for the repetition to appeal to me (I can only speak for myself), it would have to be more. Alternatively, just one ring on a white background could be worth considering. But four rings is not enough to give me a defining pattern, nor is it few enough to give me a place to rest my poor old eyes. If the line of rings were at a diagonal, I think it could also add interest.
Whew. This is one of my longest comments ever. Hope you don't mind the rambling! Please PM me if what I say doesn't make sense, or even if you would like me to ramble some more :-) |
