| Your lighting on the main elements is good as well as focus. The areas where the composition is weak is in visual interest and angle. With the exception of the reflections on the blue backdrop that are a distraction this is technically a good photo - in terms of focus is good and lighting is good. But an above average or exceptional photo needs to be more than technically good - the arrangement of compositional elements needs to be visually interesting to the viewer. First off the angle of the shot is stand-offish/distant/it does not draw us in. It is an overhead shot looking down - typically that angle is used to make your main subject small or give the impression of smallness (i.e. to convey the feelings of a person feeling very small a photographer will have there model put on a sad face and shot at an overhead angle looking down -typically that photo will have alot of negative space to add a feeling of emptiness to the mood of the person feeling small & insignificant.) There is no mood in this shot so that overhead angle does not help convey any additional information. A better angle would be to bring in the viewer by shooting at level with the fruit. That level brings us closer to your subjects - it can show us details in color tones and textures that we miss from a distant overhead shot. Bring us closer to the main subject. Show us more details in the textures and tonal colors of the fruit and/or veggies and that will draw in the viewer's eye. |
