Positives:
This is an improvement over your other submissions. It lacks color noise and sharpness is better and you are working a little shallow depth of field into your photography.
Technicals:
The closest part of the ball is slightly out of focus. Perpective and background are still uninteresting, though. The top of the ball is cut off and the bottom comes to close to the edge of the frame.
The Challenge:
The fact your ball is not really round and that it lacks precise symmetry will probably hurt the image in voting. Symmetry can be achieved in a photograph in a wide variety of ways. There are good examples in the challenge. Looks like the picture was taken with flash and voters typically vote available light images higher in these type situations.
Suggestions:
Instead of just pointing the camera at your subject and taking a picture think about taking the picture from unusual or different angles to make it look more interesting to the viewer. Use available light, like that through a window, whenever possible for a more natural look. There are different ways to frame your subject that will add more viewer interest. Look at the other challenge entries and see if you can learn some of them from the other photograph entries. |
