A different background color would have helped effectiveness I think. I do like how you have framed it with some of the bags "hanging" out of the picture. karmat

Being honest - NOT to offend. This doesn't do anything for me. I'm looking at this and what I think is...well, someone took 3 bags of frozen veggies, layered them on the counter, stook over them and pressed the shutter button with the flash. Although I personally don't see bags of frozen veggies that appealing, perhaps there are a few things that could help this. I would definately go for a different angle, perhaps set the camer on the counter, may use a shallow dof, maybe stack them evenly and shoot down the center of the even edges of the bags. Also, need to alter the lighting - turn the flash off and use a household lamp...or try Hokies ghetto studio setup (check in the threads). This is just my opinion. 3 Ruthann
At first glance I marked this low and hated this shot, thinking it was a 'pull from the freezer, thrown on the counter' job... As I go through for my second look, I'm noticing that this is actually rather well done... The things that would have improved it most (for me) would have been a waste of food... If the bags were opened with the veggies spilling out, it would have been a better shot, but way too wasteful (unless you were really hungry)... So within those constrants, I would only offer two more suggestions... If the top bag had been at an angle similar to the bottom bag (coming at more of a 45 degree angle) I think it would have worked better for me... Second, notice tghe shadow beneath the bags? If you had 2 light sorces coming from different directions, that would have been more controllable. I just noticed a 3rd thing... If you have placed these on a black piece of construction paper (or similiar dark background) I think it might have helped quite a bit... Of course, this is all just my slant on it... It's how you feel about the shot that truely counts. I'm bumping your score from 4 to 6 ~ myqyl ~
