I don“t know what this is (kind of food-ball for birds?) but I like it anyway. Good lighting and focus. The composition is a little too centered for my taste. I had probably placed the "ball" a little right. Well done.
very interesting shot :) the textures here are quite nice... note: with the new rules on cropping and image size, this shot could have possibly been nice in a square frame... good shot :) - setzler
Hmm.... this is a really interesting idea, but the framing doesn't work for me. It kind of undoes the dynamism of the arrangement of seeds. I don't really know what would work better though. A square crop? We can do that now :).
I really like the colours and textures of the seeds, and the way they're arranged.
Did you do all that yourself? This shot is just a bit too dark for my tastes but the focus and detail are great. I like the different patterns on the seeds and the overall pattern created by the rows. Nice = 7
Did you make this yourself?? It's a very ususual subject, thats for sure :o) Considering that the seed casings are quite dark, perhaps a brighter background would have made the ball stand out more. As it is, the lighting is maybe a bit too yellowy, and puts much of the shot in shadow - another light from the righthand side might help balance this up a bit more. In addition, a squarer crop may help in this case.
wow wow wow. I'd like to know how this was made. those look like sunflower seeds. are they strung on a string, or glued together, or what? really cool. I wish that the lighting wasn't quite so dark on the bottom right, but that's minor. The focus and clarity are great, and the angle and framing/cropping you have chosen is nice as well. I like this dead center. good luck in the challenge.
Perfect lighting, contrast and sharpening. The subject matter doesn't hold my interest though. Perhaps if the ball wasn't so centered. Who knows? Eye of the beholder right?
That is cool looking, makes a good photography subject. I like your light, color, focus, composition, background. I just think it could of had a little levels adjustment to lighten this up a bit. ?Too picky? lol Just a suggestion.
I like this very much. The lighting is just right, the black bg works well, the texture is interesting. Focus seems slightly soft, but very acceptable. Lots of interesting pattern in the seeds. Very nice!!!
