Hi Joan...I thought this picture was very appealing and gave it a high score...I personally really liked the backgound and didn't find it at all distracting...to me it was so apparent what the subject is, but that's just me...I don't need things overly simplified like many I suppose. This was one of my favorites.

you should have a blank backgound to lessen the distraction

Would look better on a plain background.

You could have done much better if you chose a different background. Those 2 different colors and different textures are pretty distracting.

The crane is nice. I like the idea, but the two-tone background is distracting, especially since you can see that the green (grey?) material is out of focus and is reflecting the light in an unhelpful manner. Try a solid, non-reflective background, with the vertical part of the background angled slightly.

Great origami. The background really detracts.

Very nice lighting, but the two different backgrounds are distracting...especially in the way they cut the picture in two.

I don't think I see scissors or a rock? Background a little too distracting. Shallower DOP or dif. position of the crane IMO

I wanted to use paper cranes for this challenge too. unfortunately your setting is not quite appealing
