Colors study

Idezio, I'm sorry that no one has posted any critiques to this shot yet, because the technical merits to it are very positive. The highlighting and color and the three-dimensional shading are all very nice looking. Where you excel in presentation, however, you fall a bit short in character. This is unfortunately a little too presentational for my tastes. To me, it doesn't look like a creative shot, but rather a picture from a Crate and Barrel catalog. I think maybe some more daring choices in composition and focus would improve it quite a bit. Or maybe the Crate and Barrel folks are hiring! You can use me as a reference... ;)

I'm wondering what this would look like if you slid the plate to the edge of the table, and then shot UPwards.

Kelly, thanks for viewing.

I like this one, but not quite as much as the picture of the peaches... I don't get the sense of texture that I did with the other photo. The coloring is quite nice, and focus is very sharp. Technically, it's a great photo, but I still prefer the peaches... they just looked tastier.
