Challenge: Complementary Colors III (Basic Editing III)
Camera: Nikon D70s
Lens: Tokina AF 28-80mm f/2.8 AT-X 280AF Pro for Nikon
Location: Moscow, Russia
Date: Apr 24, 2006
Aperture: 7.1
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/50
Galleries: Still Life, Food and Drink
Date Uploaded: Apr 24, 2006

Shot on a white canvass with a slight overexposure and a subsequent upping of levels. I hesitated to have so much white space, but it has some of the 'fade to white' effect of presenting a dream or a memory about to evaporate...

like it a lot, nicely done studio shot

very good DOF, nice composition

If they were Red Delicious apples instead of Gala apples, they would look better--but that's minor. :)

One of my favs in the challenge, its so clear and the colors are astounding, good luck- 10

Yeah, nice work.

Watch those highlights on the apples or any subject for that matter. You've completely lost detail in some areas. I also don't feel the space above really adds anything to the shot.

compeltly red apples would have been better. perhaps the composition can be owkred on.
04/30/2006 02:13:56 AM
Great perspective. Just a shame the red apples arent more 'red'. Probably a good stock shot too ;)

great studio shot and composition. 10

a bit fuzzy and cropped too close on the bottom. I love it though. Could see in hanging in a restaurant. :)

i would have made the background smoother and cleaner as opposed to having texture in it.
04/29/2006 04:53:07 AM
White background is too dull and uninteresting. Nice photo though.
04/28/2006 11:13:53 PM
Nicely composed. My personal opinion is there's a bit too much space at the top, still a very good photograph.

If only the red apples were the same color as the red bowel...

5 - Like the concept. Like to have seen the colors richer, not quite so high key (but your call, obviously) and minor aspects, especially of the 'fore apple' (looks like some 'fluff', plus the surface/skin etc) and possibly tweaking of colors - the red dish at the rear clashes slightly with the red of the fore apples, if that makes sense - in my opinion.

like the concept, a little too brite for my eyes
04/26/2006 07:24:36 PM
good shot
04/26/2006 07:21:29 AM
The dead white space at the top doesn't add anything to the compositon to me. Otherwise nice lighting and focus.
04/26/2006 06:21:03 AM
The idea is very good, but I'd have picked "really" red apples for the green bowl.
04/26/2006 01:51:11 AM
nice shot, but that's about it...just nice...sorry
