On DPC, you can't just throw a random object on a piece of fabric, fire off a shot and hope for the best. Although I know first-hand that you have to start somewhere, so I'll give you some advice:
You need to find a way to dynamically portray your subject. Make it interesting for the viewer. Different angles, better lighting, unique viewpoints. A static straight-on shot is always going to score very, very low.
If using a surface as your background, it needs to be free of texture and wrinkles unless that texture is adding something important to the shot. In this case, it just looks, to the viewer, like very little care and attention has been given to the shot. The viewer wants to know that you care about your photography.
Avoid harsh highlights and shadows. Play with your lighting to eliminate these as best as you can.
Try, try, and try again. |
