Composition- IMO a little less stuff in this shot might have made it easier to isolate the subject. It is creative, but its distracting to me. Good use of ROT. Lots of texture. Background- The plants are distracting to me as is the glare of light in the upper right hand corner. Technical- good focus again the upper right is bothering me. The reflection of a person dressed in black in the glass is a wonderful touch. Overall Impression- Meets the challenge, I might have tried zooming in on the "subject" of this and used the other elements as a background. Its obvious you put a lot of work into this shot. Has some appeal on several levels.......6
Not entirely certain I understand the title, but I like the photo. The book on witchcraft is a nice addition. I considered adding a glass of ice like this to my shot, but decided it was an unnecessary addition. Glad to see someone did it though. My only comment would be light levels. I think this is a picture that begs to be dark and moody and that overexposed upper corner kind of takes away from that. (Even if you disagree about the dark and moody, I think you would agree that it's over-exposed.) Maybe a few more plants to block off a little of that light?
I like the lemon on the bottom of the top glass (does that make sense? ;o), overall, I think the photo is just a tad too busy, especially with the background still very recognizable and the blown-out sky.
How'd you do that? :o) I don't like having the window in the shot, and it seems a little too busy. Still, I'm scoring it pretty high because the upside down element is good.
Hmmm. Nicely composed, and the exposure up front is good. A lower angle might have let the rear candle flame show against the cloth, but would have complicated getting the wiccan whatnot to show. I guess I just can't see iced tea as belonging in this setting - maybe some dark red wine. Overexposure in URHC detracts.
Soooo.... close. Love the contrast of colors. Works well together. The lemons are the crowning touch in my opinion. Extremely tough photo with the extreme dynamic range in the exposure. Not sure how it could have been avoided, but I would have liked to have seen the exposure controlled on the bottom of the upper glass. With this said, I still rate the shot very high.
This is great... I love it.. it's one of my favorites this week... this photo has a nice 'mystery' to it and I can't say that I would do anything differently or change anything about it.... Excellent!! = 10
