If this were just focused I bet it would do a whole lot better. I think it was well conceived and pretty well set up too, just isn't quite the quality that it needs to be.
Good idea. I think could have been executed better. I want to straighten the gas can and be able to see the bottom. The lighting is nice from the back, but the overall feel is too dark.
The gas can seems out of focus which is distracting to me. The tip of the can is also 'just' cut off which creates a bit of dificulty for me. My eye starts at the can, then goes to the spout.. and leaves the picture... it doens't make me want to look at the picture. Interesting lighting (from behind) which creates an interesting glow,.. perhaps the can also looks very heavyand too grouded being cropped RIGHT on the bottom of the image. Either heigher up or lower down.. but not RIGHT on the bottom.
