Interesting setup, but I think the side light was not well chosen. The deep shadows are a bit distracting in my opinion. I think a frontal lighting would have been better. Also the photo seems to be tilted to the right. -stephan
Nice composition... its just seems to me that it should be centred in the frame, being as symmetrical as it is. The shadows / reflections are very cool effect.
This is a very interesting shot. At first I recommended moving the forks to the middle of the frame, but then the strawberry would be off cener and teh shadows would overflow. If you find something to stick the forks in (styrofoam, etc) and take the picture without the shadows, I think that would ahve been cool. karmat
I like the artistic qualities of this image, but think that it could be better with some lighting improvements. I think that it is the shadows that bother me a bit. FWIW, my preference would be to use more fill, increase the contrast, and then center the subject.
very interesting composition :) The color looks a bit flat overall.. i think a brighter background or a darker background may set this image in motion a little better :) - jmsetzler
Really great idea! I wish that there were not so many shadows. It looks like you might have tried to correct that by brightening the photo. The reason I say that is because the strawberry looks kind of light, like it's almost washed out. the angle is good. I would like to have seen the forks more to the center of the photo though. Framing is good. The lighting is good for the photo. Focus and clarity are also very nice. Overall nice photo. Good luck in the challenge. ~Hbunch7187~
I think in this case centered and a bit more filling the frame would be okay, imho. Interesting idea to use the forks. Strawberry could be a bit more focused.
This is a really great shot – and I'd have to say that it's also a first class example of how to use negative space – this would do well in next weeks challenge as well :o) The shadows, and the reflection from the fork, add interest to, and enhance, the subject. Superb shot (10)
