Well isn't this the truth! Only thing missing is the roll of toilet paper for the trees! The angle is good. The photo isn't cluttered, the objects are spaced out engough that we can tell exactly what they are. The angle on each item is good. Focus and lighting are ok. I might have tried to cut the bottom wooden thing out of the photo. There is a bit of a glare on it, and it's not straight with the frame of the photo. Great depiction of childhood. Good luck in the challenge.
You conveyed your idea very well, but from what I am learning of "artistic" value here on dpc, you might have done better by eliminating some of the props. One possible alternative would have been to have merely the slingshot sticking out of the back of a pair of jeans draped over a blue chair. The stones could have been on the seat of the chair. Please understand I am not telling you how take pictures, merely suggesting an alternative.
Interesting layout. Front foreground should have either more or none of the wooden beam there. Angle seems funny, maybe it needs rotating slightly? Kavey
This is interesting :) As I look at this photo, I wonder what could have been done simply with the box of matches and the firecracker? :) Good shot... - jmsetzler
Like the composition of the various stuff. I would have put the white cloth all the way up front so no edge of wood was shown, for the rest: excellent picture!
Yep, I remember all those, but I find the picture too ... pre-arranged. I don^t think I would have done better, so I tend to limit the number of objects.
