this is a very peaceful photo to look at, first of all because of the composition and second because of the black and white.
In the composition, everything is working for the middle piece, the vase. The lines seem to cut the photo, leaving the middle. The vase itself is not really in the center, but you absolutely created the IDEA that the vase is centered.
It seems to me that the lines are a bit tilted, I don't know whether my eyes are playing tricks on me, because you didn't stand in front of the cupboard, but slightly to the left of it (because I can see the sites of the right board, but not the sites of the left board), or because the photo IS tilted. You can easily figure this out in Photoshop (for example).
For a black and white picture, there is a lot of grey showing. The vase is nice and deep black, but the parts of the cupboard that aren't in the shadows, would have made the photo more attractive when they would have been a bit more white.
There is nothing wrong with this picture, but the centering of the main object, leads in this photo to a peaceful picture. This photo is a great example that a move of the vase to the left or to the right would have spiced up the picture a lot..
but since this was the challenge of the 'centered composition' you did a really good job on it!
Perfect. Another 10 for me. I love the shadows. So lighting is definately a key factor here, and you hit it just right. Love the black and whiteness. The little light reflection on the vase is great. I like it just the way it is. Focus and clarity are great, and the centeredness is also wonderful. Thanks for this image. ~Heather~
This would be more effective if it were dead-on straight and centered. It's close, but it makes it look more like a snapshot instead of a great photo. But still a good photo, good score.
good chice of objects...the light/contrast could be improved though by chainging the curves in ps...also the the rack is out of focus...maybe due to a large aperture!?
Very good. This plays well with the challenge. I like the absence of any bright colors here, but it might have worked well with a bright flower in the black vase.
Great Job.
