Greetings! I am taking [user]Louis[/user] up on his challenge to comment outside of our comfort zone. That took me to the HDR gallery -- not sure if it is truly outside of my "comfort zone," but I typically don't like HDR stuff. . .
That said, your image caught my eye because it is not the typical application. I honestly think in this instance, it works very well. It adds a lot of definition and depth that may, or may not, have been present without out it. As a result, it almost feels like you can "touch" the pepper. Also, the color combination/contrast is fantastic.
I'm a negative space freak, and i keep trying to visually move this to the left so that there is more open space on the right. To me, it is so centered, it almost feels static. Throwing a bit of "unbalance" in, I think, would help to add interest to the shot.
Great work, btw. |
