| This photo definitely meets the challenge, but it is suffering from a number of technical issues. The first is lighting. Natural light can be a pain to work with, either its too bright or not bright enough, not shining where you need it, it goes on. In this case the lighting is not sufficient to highlight the subject or to bring out any interesting details. If possible I would suggest a second light source to try and brighten up the area, or reshoot when the sun is more cooperative. Focus looks like it may be good, but with the low light its hard to make out any details of the flowers which makes it difficult to determine how well focused the image is. As it stands it looks a bit soft, though the main subject does seem to have a tighter focus than the background which is good. Composition could use a bit of work, I say this because you do have an interesting (though often done) subject in these flowers, but the background is competing greatly with them. The busy-ness of the background takes away from the impact your main grouping of flowers (subject) can offer. If you could blur the background out more, I'd suggest into a mass of pale yellow if possible with your camera, I think that would not only help isolate your subject but give an interesting gradient of color from white to yellow in the background. The choice of subject is good, fits the challenge and there is potential here but I think the biggest element causing problems is the lighting which is effecting everything else the most. 3 |
