Greetings from the critique club....
Cor, I don't even know what I'm looking at for sure. :-).
I'm assuming it's some kind of glass sculpture/bowl etc...
This is a very strong, almost abstract image, which imediately captures your attention, and makes be wonder what I'm looking at. Are the shadows in the front fingers holding some delecate artwork, or is this a large light fitting?
However, once I'm over the curiosity, and imediate impact of the image it dosn't hold my interest for much longer, as it's in essense a still life study of something I don't connect with or understand. Having some clues in the image as to what the viewer is looking at would help in that respect, or if it were part of a series which gave the hints as well.
I say almost abstract, but not enough that I can dwell in the pure shapes and tones of the pattern in the front of the object. The contrast of the dark surrounds pull me back out to the still life study again.
I'm not a fan of the dead-center composition, although I suspect you probably tried other angles with this subject and they may not have worked that well.
Technically you've got the focus good and exposure is what you'd expect with a centrally lit glass/plastic object. To do a better job in that sense a great deal of setup and messing about would be required...
Great to see you've gone out a limb with the voters here on DPC, many don't risk confusing the punters here with things that are difficult to explain.
Cheers, Chris Hellyar. |
