from the critique club:
Okay. This image has only one minor drawback. It has too much movement to achieve, what I think, is the effect you were after. You want movement, you want some texture and most important you want a pleasing design. First, I give you credit for pursuing this concept. And you came very close.
The first we do is add a little more light. These things are fun to light because you can throw light coming from the side and another coming from the back. Also top and bottom. Next, we want at least an f8 aperture. Higher if light allows and a shutter speed of 1/15. This may even be increased if you are using a fan to drive the ribboms. So you take a series of shots starting with 1/30, 1/15 etc.
The above will give you a choice of color, movement and texture.
If you have no access to all of these controls try an aperture priority or shitter priority. The main thing is get enough light and do not hesitate to bring lamps in from the other room. |

| Did you think of the way buddhists pray when you took this picture? They write prayers on peaces of fabric. Each time the ribbon flaps, a prayer is sent to buddha. |

| I think this might actually have worked better with a high shutter speed. The curling of the ribbons would probably have made it clear that they were being blown. Here there is nothing well enough in focus to make a compelling focal point for the picture. Still... it's way better than the zillions of flag photos in this challenge... :) |
