Critique Club Review:
Color Saturation and Hue: Colors are good, nothing is over or under saturated, and hues are realistic.
Brightness and contrast: Brightness levels are a little low, making the picture look a little cool. Contrast is good.
Focus and depth of field: Focus is good, depth of field could be a little deeper in the front.
I think what hurts your picture here is that there is no central point of focus for the eye. There is a lot of candy, which does speak to the idea of a treasure horde. However, it is just a jumble that goes across the image, top to bottom and side to side. Perhaps confining it to a treasure chest, or some sort of box would help. The opposite thing you could have done was to photograph from the top down and filled the frame with brightly colored candy. Here, the foreground and backround are the same color, and with the under exposure, it tends to feel a bit cold and flat. If you look through the challenges and look at the winning photos, rich vibrant colors do well here. Head that direction with this image and you will score better. Just never lose sight of your own goals and ideas. In the end good scores are nice, but producing work you yourself like is the most important.
You have the start of a good idea. Do not be afraid to take it farther and run with it. |
