This image is so subtle…fantastic job. This is my guess that you did a full shoot of this object and probably different objects but this was one of those happy mistakes that came out of it all. I love it…
A big problem I have when voting, is decifering whether or not someone made a deliberate artistic choice or a bad image. Knowing that this is yours, I'm looking deeper and seeing the beauty revealed in this simple object.
Sadly, I gave it a 4.
On a bright note. A few of my lowest scoring images have sold for good money. It's funny how that works...
Extremely beautiful, gorgeous b/w tonal range and lovely composition. I'm *shocked* at how low this placed. Obviously not everyone's cup of tea, but it's a beautiful abstract and I can see it hanging in a gallery.
your composition really, really works for me. now you'll tell me you just spun the colander and closed your eyes ;) perhaps a good photographer just always ends up showing through.
Whilst I am fairly sure that the lack of focus is an intended artistic decision, it doesn't work for me. There are some interesting textures and metallic finishes to play with here, but I don't feel they have been utilised fully.
Hmmmm... neat abstract. It almost looks like a fly's eye. I'm sure the soft focus is intentional, but something about it doesnt work for me. There's nothing to focus on, either because of the focus or nothing lit to stand out.
