Your pic is nice. The only problem is: it's in dead center. That's photo no-no. Why? because it is not as pleasing to the eye than if were off-centered. This is called the rule of thirds. So if you off-center it a little your pic above will get higher ratings. Good luck.

The crystal ornament is too dark for my liking, which makes it hard to see against the black background.

It's head is a little dark. 5

Sure there's negative space, but this doesn't really interest me and I'm not particularly fond of the composition. Try to work on different angles to make the photograph a little more interesting.

cool

don't know if it was possible, but boosting the contrast might get rid of the folds of your background. it may totally obliterate teh cat though, (?) Did you try placing it in different parts of the picture, other than center? karmat

This is an interesting idea... i don't particularly care much for the dead center view of thei subject though... Off center to one side or the other would appeal to me in a much stronger way....

Not enough definition, not enough thought behind it, boring NS, boring subject...sorry...2 ...it's also out of focus

interesting concept, but it would be better if the kitty face had more definition. better lighting, maybe?
09/18/2002 08:00:00 PM
I like that you found a transparency to fulfill the negative space requirement. Nice light reflections and lack thereof.

Love the light refractions against the black background but the subject needed to be off to one side I think to make use of your negative space better. 8 - floyd

cute

Great attempt! Try moving the figurine off center for more impact

Can't make out enough detail on the figurine, but this seems to meet the challenge! Good luck in the challenge. Grayce aka Gracious

I like the crystal, the reflections a well hadnled. I think thought i's too much center and facing the camera and I would prefer a full black background. Somebody already submited a picture taken in fron of a black drape last week (you ?) and I thought the same thing. You could try to reduce the brigness a little to see the results. Maybe you tried but still picked that one. 5
