First Impression - the most important one: Very interesting texture and subject choice.
Composition: I might suggest putting the subject just a little more off center. This would allow for some different background texture and more shadow play in the beans behind the main subject. You've got a good angle to pick up all the detail and texture on the bean.
Subject: A very unique and creative idea for the shapes challenge! There is a lot of texture on the subject, which certainly makes it more interesting.
Technical (Colour, focus, and light): You have a nice focus on the subject! Color looks pretty good, though around the outer edge of the bean there is some bluish cast. Some tweaking with color balance might diminish that cast and help bring out some of the richer colors in the bean.
To grow its vote?: To grow its vote, I would recommend a composition that lets the viewer see more of the beans behind the one in front. Some slightly stronger lighting, or perhaps some lights from other angles might bring out the interplay in the shadowed areas.
Summary: A nice close-up macro shot here. A great job on the focusing, as well as preparation for the photo. If you hadn't soaked the chickpea during set-up, the texture wouldn't be nearly as interesting! Great job following your idea all the way through. |
