    2 Vases

    Another older shot I played with a bit.

    Re: 2 Vases

    I try to figure out how to offer a critique here, but the image is too unlike a normal photography here. It looks kind of like computer graphics here, the close up of the two vases does not offer enough of interesting texture by itself, shot is too near to offer any sense of composition and so on.

    It is a study of colors, curves and macro. Not computer graphics, taken with a camera.

    Hmmm...may be that's the problem...people wonder what they're looking at. Or perhaps it's a good thing :-)

    A simple, colorful, eye-pleasing photo.

    If I don't get what the image is about from the first look, then I have a problem with it. The simpler the photography the better.

    This would work as a great art pic if it hadn't been soft in the lower half along the merging colors. I find that distracting. I like the art aspect of the picture though. I think this would work if the entire shot was crisp and the fine details in the vases more pronounced.

    Hmm.. interesting abstract Arne. I like it, but think it would be even better if it were w/o any noticeable texture. That is, completely or near completely flat, just showing the curvy line and the colors on each side.

    Good eye for spotting this.

    That would be easy to do. Open up a blank workspace in Photoshop. Draw a curve line dividing it into two areas. Then fill them up with different colors :-)

    But then that's the problem of abstracts sometimes, is it, i.e. they don't look like photographs?
