(1) COMPOSITION (CONTENT) Well composed. The use of three objects (the OTHER rule of thirds) works very well here. The photograph is very well balanced.
(2) BACKGROUND The shadows from the flash (just an assumption) on the background do give this photograph a true 3 dimentional feeling.
(3) CAMERA WORK ,TECHNICAL Overall the exposure is good, but the darkness on the left is a little distracting. The colors are strong and vibrant. Composition is very pleasing to the eye.
(4) DIGITAL PROCESSING ,TECHNICAL I find that there is nothing I can add to this. The primary colors are bright and clear, the whites are really white and the blacks are black.
(5)MEETING THE CHALLENGE This photo does a very good job of meeting the challenge. This would also have worked well in the humor challenge.
(6) MY OPINION ON THE PHOTO A very good still life picture. I would love to see this hanging in a childs room. The strong colors really make this photograph.
I love it. And you already know it's a right on photograph, interest wi.. Only problem is it's a little dark on the left side and the shadows are very distracting. Lighting from the sides might have taken care of that then still use the flash. Just a thought. and still a good shot worth a 6 to me. PTL
