I like this image - as mentioned previously, it is creative!
Composition is good - the knife and veggies are placed at a good point within the frame, and the background is balanced with the inside of the pot. Perhaps some viewers would have liked to see the pot not cut off at the bottom. This was definitely my first reaction.. after looking some more I decided I liked it the way you had it, but others may have stuck with that first impression.
Also mentioned previously was the sharpness. I agree that this is one area that the photo is "lacking". I don't find it too bad, but it definitely could have made the photo better if the pot were in clearer focus. One thing is that DPC voters simply love sharpness, and another thing is that your subject of veggies/knife is un-focused, so it is nice to have something that is in focus.
Colors - I know that the wood is yellow, and present throughout most of the image, but it gives the image a yellow tone overall, which could be corrected by a levels adjustment.
Overall I have been nit-picky but I did want to suggest some improvements. Overall I do think this is a nice, appealing image - good job! |
