These are some of the photos I took this week for the challenge, but chose not to submit. Reminder; the one I did submit isn't like any of these. What do you think? negative 1 negative 2 negative 3
Though it's arguable that all flower shots are boring, I definitely like yours. It does a really good job of isolating shapes, especially those of the flower versus its background. I'm not a big fan of the lighting on 2, and naked babies just don't do much for me as a viewer so it wouldn't have scored well with me either. Just a case of subject matter and the viewer, and of course it's only the opinion of one viewer :)
Thanks DREW and SHORTREDNECK for your comments. The picture of the baby was the first picture I took. The second was my boy with the violin. I also didn't care for the lighting either. I thought for sure if I submitted the orange flower with the green background that people would find something wrong with the background because of the different depths the plant has.
konador, I like picture 1 and 12. I love the lighting. Very sad story you are trying to tell.
spiderman, I like the photos Paddle power 1 and 1 struttin, and peek a boo, but the contrast seems a bit off. They all seem to bright. I did however like the way you captured the objects and the negative space.
There is one problem when one has a clear and specific vision of what one wants one's submission to look like: there are no out-takes to show because they are all so similar to the actual entry :-(
