Critique Club Review
Color Saturation and Hue: Colors are vivid, saturation is appropriate for the subject, hues are natural.
Brightness and contrast: Image could be a little brighter, contrast is good as the blacks are nice and dark. Lighting is flat though.
Focus and depth of field: Depth of field is too shallow. The washer or seal under the stopper is nice and sharp. The figure appears soft at the head, and the rest of the image is soft. A smaller aperature would make the depth of field deeper.
The wire assembly for opening and closing the bottle really compete with the subject. For this view, the doll really has to be lazer sharp. Lighting from the side could help add relief and apparent sharpness to the doll. Although the area is small, perhaps a small flashlight, torch, or whatever they call them where you live, could be used to form a small spotlight to draw attention to the doll.
Another approach might be to pull back further yet, and sort of do a play on the whole angels dancing on the head of a pin thing.
Interesting picture, I've never seen a doll this small. |
