Sorry, looks blown out, and there's no leading of the eye (except for wondering why the shadow is there at top).

I usually have a hard time taking pictures of lighter things. What happened here sometimes happens to me - the flash killed the detail and texture of the popcorn.

too easy too plain
11/12/2007 05:32:10 PM
nice close up, but light looks a little strong imo
11/12/2007 02:52:43 PM
this doesn't tell much of a story

Not a fan of the lighting on this one. I would say if you are going this direction I would like to see uniform lighting on all the corn.

Not interesting..and the shadow across the top is distracting..

Strong focus on the popcorn but it's a bit too static and ordinary. Perhaps shooting from underneath the popcorn, say under a glass table and showing a hand reaching for it would have upped the wow factor. Also, watch your exposure. The highlights are a bit too bright. I might try diffusing the light more so it's not so harsh.

way blown out.

If it weren't for the shadow in the upper right, the blownhighlights wouldn't bother me. It would almost give it a certain "tone" or mood. However, the shadow makes it look unintentional.

The top kernels seem just a bit overexposed to me. Hard to photograph mostly light tones. Could help to use manual mode on the camer.

This shot doesn't seem like a lot of thought went into it. It is a little too busy for me, and I think that you should have all the kernels in focus. The shadow is also distracting. This shot is just really bland.

It would have helped to crop of the shadow, but it would still have been a fairly uninteresting image. (4)

Needs some more contrast, and an identifiable point of interest would be helpful.
11/08/2007 03:29:19 PM
this is far to blown out but if you had cropped the shaddow out it could've work
11/08/2007 06:14:05 AM
the DOF seems a bit too shallow and the image seems blown out due to harsh lighting
11/07/2007 02:41:14 PM
too much light
11/07/2007 02:28:56 PM
overexposed, poor composition
11/07/2007 04:37:28 AM
Looks to be a stop or two over-exposed?
11/07/2007 04:27:07 AM
The lighting seems too washed out. Not enough focus on the popcorn.
11/07/2007 12:32:43 AM
over exposed and too little depth pf field
11/06/2007 07:50:24 PM
i feel like theres just too much here, and the shadow going across the top from the right is distracting
11/06/2007 07:35:27 PM
Lighting is quite harsh
