Well, one of these days I won't be rushed, and I'll be able to set up my tripod and take the shot I want to without rolled eyes and impatience from my lovely wife.
Now that I've gotten that off my chest, this should have a deeper depth of field, it should have been manually focused to a hyperfocal point that allowed all the leaves to be sharp, and the iso should be at 200, not 2000.
But it doesn't have any of those things I wish it did, so I'm expecting a 5.3, especially considering all the razor sharp wine glasses with colored fluids as well as colored water drops this challenge will pull in.
I'm here to learn, so I suppose it's a good thing when I've already figured out how to improve it before I even submit. But I will anyway, because I want it to hurt. That way I WILL pull out my tripod next time.
Post challenge: Thank you, Donald! That one comment made this entry worth it. Not because it was positive, but because that's exactly what I was going for. The red vs. green and the white vs. black.
Additionally, I really wanted to find these complimentary colors in a natural scene. Not create them with store-bought items in a fabricated set. No offense to the winners. They're professional-grade, but not to my taste.
I didn't boost saturation at all in this shot, believe it or not. I did play with the black and magenta levels in the red and green tones in selective color, but that's about it color-wise. I suppose "over-saturated" is the catch-all phrase for over-the-top, overly rich colors.
I do appreciate all the comments. I've received fewer comments that have received much better results. Thanks a lot for the advice and time to share it. |
