I like the 'ingredients' you used, but not too much the way you've arranged them. The stones, beautiful as they are individually, would've been the focuspoint if they had been put together in one of the three dark spaces. Now they're somewhat shattered all over and my eye has to hop from one to the other.
Hope I make sense, because English is not my native language and sometimes it's hard to explain exactly what I have in mind. 5.
Very nice use of minimal tone and color. I like the hint of being in water, but something seems grainy around the bamboo itself. Other than that, this photo is near perfect! Great job from the 'Great Job Baggie'!
composition of this image appears a bit all over the place really, what with there being no real focus of interest - plus there appears to be too much negative space to make the whole thing gel together as a single piece. as a still life it's nice, and the water droplets are (albeit a bit cliched) effective. i think less might prove to be more; lose the bamboo and it would have greater promise, i think. 5
I am very much enjoying the contrast of organic materials and the structured/geometric placing of the items. I like the usage of the water, I'm curious how you got so little reflection and it to be so black - dark material above or underneath? The focus looks good and the lighting is nice. I like the simplicity of it and I think the image certainly meets the challenge description, however I don't get that inner feeling of 'zen' when I look at it. Its very well composed and the technical quality is very good. The connection with the viewer for me is the only thing lacking, and that's a rather subjective thing anyway. I gave a 6
I like the idea of this but am a little confused about what is running alongside the bamboo and a little of the rocks, not sure if this is editing or what?
