Positives:
Simple and to the point. Center framing works with this image and theaddition of the color with the lime is a nice touch.
Technicals:
Lack of digital artifacts is a strength. The background is not solid white but the amount of detail it does have works. Exposure is average with a slight bit of edge loss on the lower stem and base. Though not a hard and fast rule you almost always want to have a discernible edge all the way around your main subject.
Though it has no digital artifacts the image comes across as slightly soft focused which affected its score. There is a curved band-like reflection in the red liquid that confuses the viewer since they want to know what it is but cannot figure it out. It acts as a distraction.
In an image like this being level is critical. It needs to be rotated clockwise slightly.
The challenge:
This type image has become cliche at DPC and you certainly suffered scorewise from that. Not to say you should not submit this type of image, but when you do you have to be 100% certain that it has absolutely no technical defects whatsoever. It has to be PERFECT! |
