Challenge:Old and New (Basic Editing III) Camera:Canon EOS-D60 Location: My living room Date: Jan 24, 2005 Aperture: 11 ISO: 100 Shutter: 60 Date Uploaded: Jan 24, 2005
I think the old clock is more beautiful than the new one, therefore I am a bit disappointed to find it out of focus. The lighting is harsh on the metal of the new (use diffused lighting for metals), but I like the composition. I would have left more space all around, this way it's a abit tight for me. Just a cm on all sides. And more DOF. The old clock is too interesting to push it out of focus, IMHO.
Challenge: 6 old time and new time.
Composition: 6 I think the out of focus clock threw me off.
Technical: 6 the focus on the watch is good but I think I would have liked it more if they were both in focus.
Appeal: 6 just didnt wow me
Overall: 6
I like the depth of focus here. The only thing I might change would be to wipe off the fingerprints on the "new" watch :) Other than that it's really good. Very nice texture and the colors are wonderful. I like the crop a lot too. With just a little polishing that could be a magazine ad. Very nice!
Nice composition, nice color. The highlights are a bit blown out tho. It also wouldn't hurt to clean the fingerprints from the watch bezel. I noticed a big wad of gunk on the subject of my shot after I submitted it... a lesson in preparation, I guess...
