Ok, there's a lot of things wrong with this.. well, not 'wrong' but unappealing: The lighting sucks. On camera flash is the lighting of the devil because everything looks 2D which is a shame when you have nice toroids (ooo yeah) like these. The background: that isn't pretty either. was it a sheet of paper? If so, it looks more grey than anything else which again, doesn't help things. In PS you can do a lot of stuff to help you out- maybe the levels to make it white, maybe dodge it all so it goes white, even the contrast might work, but the grey is possibly the worst colour you could have gone for.
I like the red donuts, but I don't like the lighting on it. It kills everything you've worked at. Also, it's very soft in the corners, the crop is a bit tight and the positioning is a bit boring.
Now, having said that, i'm deliberately trying to be nitpicky on this and explain the things I think are wrong with the picture so if you get a low score and nobody explains why, this may be of some use. I'm not saying anything personal so please don't be offended by this as I know it must come as a blow but if it helps, then i'm glad. |
