Amazing foto! It almost has a lithographic feel to it. I like how the lone onion appear to be in the same plane as the other three, and yet this illusion is conveniently broken by the bottle's shadow.
That's a wonderful image. Of course, love what you did to the shadows. They are rich and beautiful. The placement is superb too. Among the shadow I see one "real" weed, nice touch. The shape of the weeds themselves is gorgeous. This is one of the best pictures I have seen so far on this forum. Posted July 24, 2002.
I gave this a 10..it's a great shot and I remember distinctly that I commented on it.Yet I can't see my comment. Did I dream that part? lol..I don't know but I loved this shot and I had made a comment on how much I liked the idea of the one weed laying on the shadow. Congrats!
Thank you all for the comments and votes! :) I was going to post a version of the shot w/out the additional onion weed in the shadow (this is by far the most common critique I got), but it seems that I deleted the gazillions of other variations I had of this shot when I tried to clean up my photos. Sorry.
Anyway, I did that, as well as turning the shadow to be the vertical object to try and put the emphasis on the shadow first, and the bottle & weeds second.
Btw, these weeds actually look that way, they are not dead! ;)
Great shot, awesome framing. I don't know why you laid the one down on the shadow though, it seems to distract from the image... i'd like to see the shot without it.
This is one of my favorites this week for sure... The depth of field is phenomenal and i really love the touch of adding an extra 'weed' or whatever this is into the shadow... I wish I could make photos this nice... great shot! = 10 - jmsetzler
This strikes me on two levels. First, it looks like I am your gardener. Every plant in my house is either dead, or well on its way in that direction. Secondly, I would have never though of putting the flower in the shadow like you did. Good job.
I love the simplicity of this photo... white background and nothing to distract the viewer. I really like the fact that you've placed a lone branch/twig on the shadow itself to separate this photo from all the other flower/vase photos. I like the way your mind works. My only 10 ever!
Good job on this one. I like the simplicity and I think that the thistles on the left help break up the monotony of the shadow and add more interest to the overall photo. The angle of the bottle seems a bit wierd to me, but you're the phototographer, you control the horozontal and the vertical so do what looks good to you. Again, good job!
I really like this image very much. Very crisp & clean, nice composition. Adding the flower along with the shadow really made the difference - makes it a much more interesting photo imho. Good job!
I like this a lot. I just wish that one of the dead flowers wasn't lying down. It is somewhat distracting and it also takes away from that great shadow.
I like the idea but not the composition. I had a hard time figure out how to position the shadow and object in my photo too. I think that's the hardest part of the challenge!
