Good subject (though very cliche). Very poor lighting and focus.

pity this is not sharp :(

This is a neat concept and composition for this...but the focus isn't super-crisp even on the pieces/parts of the board that are in focus, and the reflections are distracting. Did you use a tripod? Is there something that could have reduced or eliminated the reflections, maybe a bit of cloth spread above the camera's reach so that only flat cloth was reflected?

Good idea. but the light level was too low allowing for the camera movement to cause the bluring of your shot.

Better focus would help this photo. Playing with f-Stop setting will give you either focus in the fore, mid , or background.

Looks a bit out of focus to me
08/10/2003 01:46:05 PM
poor focus and the lighting is too yellow.

This looks to be behind glass to me. A different angle may have been more effective. Nice colors.

A bit dark and not well focused. Also some reflections on the bottom left portion of the board. Overall, idea is good but execution could be improved.

Was this taken through a glass? It's suffering from very low light conditions without a tripod which makes it very blurry. Also it is chopped of in a very unusual way.

Totally out of focus - sorry [2] only
08/07/2003 11:39:10 PM
the whole picture is blurry
08/07/2003 08:20:44 AM
why so unsharp and with the reflections? is it behind a glass?

Creative interpretation of the theme, but this shot would be lot nicer with a little more cool lighting and a sharper focus.
08/06/2003 01:49:34 PM
Nice for right angles, but what's in focus?
08/06/2003 01:27:50 PM
you should have set up outside it would probably get rid of the red tint and helped with focus a 4

a little too blury and could use a bit more light

Indoor lighting can be tough. Try playing with your ISO and aperature a bit. Or use a tripod and a slower shutter speed. You made a good attempt to fill the frame. The picture is too soft as well.

Good idea, but the soft focus doesn't help in my opinion, and it either needs a slower shutter speed (with a tripod) or more light as the color seems to have a yellowish-orange cast to it. If that is intentional, okay, it just doesn't do a lot for me. :-)
