ahh i have never gotten back about this photo .. the pumpkin was intentionally put there to show that tarot really shouldnt be taken as serious as some people take it ... my friend reads tarot and that was her baby's first caldren ... :)
The cheezy glitter pumpkin adds nothing and detracts a lot. take it away. then you can change the camera angle up a bit so the page in the book shows and the necklace. Could be a much better picture, the elements are all there. 6
challenge -- met technical -- very nice lighting setup, just the candle is a bit blown out. composition -- personally, i find the pumkin doesn't fit in with the rest of objects, to cheery/cheesy/commercial holiday. the glittery things in the foreground aren't discernible, i think i would prefer a plain black background or have them more recognizable. i very much like the arrangement of the other items, you obviously put a lot of thought into them. nice dynamic. -- gr8photos
