6 - Met the Challenge and it does seem that these are tools of a 'trade' (vs a hobby). I like the composition here and the natural light. Criticism; that said natural light is too harsh on the 'tools' and as they are on the white cloth?, it seems the camera has picked that up and 'blown out' the balance. For me, this would be a better photograph if it was 1/3 closer, perhaps a slightly more 'level' angle and if the tools were 'crisp' and detailed. I think that even a slight 'blur' on the books might make a good edge. By getting closer you would avoid having to worry about the 'darkness' behind the books, which is not working for the 'subject' in this picture in my opinion. On first 'impact' (rummage through the entries) I gave this a 7 based primarily on originality and composition. Down to 6 now I have scrutinized it a little closer and noted the impact of the lighting on the overall picture. |
