Greetings from the Critique Club
By Inspzil

Composition - Cute theme. Definitely nice aspects in terms of color happening with this photo. First is contrast in blender and background. Second is the rest of the earthy tones in the eggs, utensils and noodles to offset the more sterile white blender and black background. Couple minor things I don't like - First is the cord of the blender does not need to be in the picture. Second is the lack of light on the wooden spoons. I think I'd have removed the cord and put it out of sight, spread out the pasta lying down diagonally from top L to bottom R to eat up a little more room in the frame. Composition is pretty good.

Technical - Well taken photo. For some reason, about every other time I look at it I think it needs to be rotated to the left a little. It needs some more light on the wooden spoons too. Besides that, exposure, DOF, focus is all very good.

Overall - Not a terribly dynamic picture but portrays your theme very well. It was a very good idea very well executed. I think it was a good image that met the challenge aptly and was rated fairly. Nice work and good luck in your future challenges - Inspzil

Lesson 1...plug into electric socket. Good sharp image. Could use a bit more light.

Great lighting, and I like the humor
03/22/2003 01:29:22 PM
But I married you anyway right?

LOL, That would be a mess! Love the black surface and bg and I like the cord pulled around the front, it adds a nice detail. It looks like it's tilted just a little to the clockwise but that could be just an illusion.

Boy, wouldn't that be a surprise to wake up to that "breakfast" during the honeymoon. Nice subject and composition. Good, even lighting too.
Score: 7

Now, be gentle. That's whar Papa Murphy's Pizza was invented for...

Needs to be much lighter. The subject is GREAT, it's just not well lit, although I know it's hard to do without showing the backdrop (believe me I know:). This could have been a great picture. Still get a 7.

Oh, my! You're so funny!
Very original idea, bet a lot of thought went into this. . .
Nice colour on the eggs and machine and everything else, really like your black background.
Lighting is really great.
Your visual impact is right on. . .with your title (but when she sees this, boy are you in trouble. . .)

A bit busy - can we eliminate something?
03/17/2003 06:14:33 AM
Needs more light, and I would have hid the cord.

Ha! Very cute and so creative! Great title too!

LOL! I had a room mate once that just put the spagheti noodles in a pan and turned it on (no water). Wonder if you married her?
