Greetings From The Critique Club!!!
Initial impact: Why??
Color: There is not a lot of color in this photo but The concept is sound. Placing almost all of the color in the center does force the eye to look at the figure in the middle
Focus: The focus is very good, but I feel that you Depth of Field is a little shallow. I think that in this instance it would have worked a bit better to have A nice crisp focus for the full depth of the photo.
Contrast: The contrast looks to be good. I can't see anything in this area that could be improved.
Lighting: This is one of the weak areas in this photo IMO. It looks like you were trying to get a solid white background, but instead you ended up with a lot of greys and off whites. T fix this you would need to move your subject away from the background a little more and light it separately. Shop lights or a good flashight will accomplish this if you don't have access to studio lights and such. As for lighing the subject. When shooting on a white surface you ussualy want to have the appearance of the subject floating in free space. This is accomplished by removing as many shadows as possible. And making sure you subject is as vibrantly lit as possible. In this instance I would have tried using two more loghts from either side as low as possible. This would allow the light to illuminate as much of the white surface as possible giving you the least shadows. With those three lights and you cameras flash the subject would have apeared to be floating in white.
Subject: It looks to be a random pile of objects to me while each one is interesting in it's own right I can't see a relationship between the items. I realize this is an odd couples challenge, but I feel that there should be some reason or relationship between the different subjects. Why were the grapes and green rose added? What did they add to the photo. What is the Odd couple relationship between the pink dol and the stuffed lion? I was unable to get a story or meaning behind this photo. I feel that if there was one it may have been a bit too obscure for me and the other viewers to make the connection.
Best of luck in future challenges, and remember perfection comes with perseverance.

| I don't get the "odd couple" thing here. Maybe I'm not too perceptive. |
