Just what it says. Found it in a client's barn, when previous owners used to let a local florist use it for storage.
pp: RAW conversion, crop, clone, healing tool on b/g, hue, saturation, brightness, warming filter, resize, usm, smart sharpen, save for web
---------------------------------------
Thanks all for the great comments! I was lazy in the pp, couldn't be bothered to magic lasso the planter and just use the warming filter on it.
Woud've used fall leaves, but there aren't many down just yet. Ironically in about 2 weeks' time I'll be up to my butt in beautiful golden maple leaves, thanks to the sugar maples on my property.
Finally, it did use to have a cactus in there...but I killed it, and had no other plant that would look right in such a small pot. So I just did this. :-) |

| I think having a plant in the basket would have brightened up the subject and helped to indicate it's use and size. And I think a different background color, or a slight texture to the background would break up the monotone feel of the shot. Still you got a decent score. So what do I know? :P |

Hi Susan,
I think you've been a little "lazy" here! :)
Aperture: f7.1
ISO: 400
Shutter: 1/30
Since this is a product shot, you should have been able to push it to:
Aperture: f9 to f11
ISO: 100
with a bounce flash and tripod, you could have been able to get a better shot!
The yellow hue is a little too strong. Go with white background, it'll make the florist catalog!
The crop and composition is good. Angle may be improved. Perhaps having the scarecrow looking into the lens.
Cheers
Eric. |

Nicely done :)
I agree with Cheerz about the background, a white background or outdoors (think fall) would have be benefitial to the shot. But besides that it's very nicely done :) Great composition.

| I am not big on the warm colour balance used here. Lighting is good though. |
