Technique ImpactHi!
I found this work by accident when I browsed through the galleries. And I must say, first it didn't catch my eyes very much. But when I looked closer, I started to love it!
One thing I really like about this is the light. Usually I'm not a huge fan of hard lighting, but this one is excellent. I love the way the shadows make this work look mysterious and special. It gives an overall interesting feeling and catches the watcher's eyes at once.
A second thing I like is the focus. The foreground and the background are blurred, so the clock (means the most important parts of the clock) pops out very nicely. Maybe you could have been a bit more precisely concerning the numbers. They are not the sharpest part, but they should be (in my opinion ^^).
The colors are very pretty too. The old, vintage purple works perfectly for this. Did you try other color schemes? Maybe a nice warm glow of yellow, brown and orange would look nice too. I think it would be really interesting to play around with the colors <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b…" width="15" height="15" alt="
" title=" (Big Grin)"/>All in all the composition is nothing special. A simple sqaure, following (mostly) the rules of third... Maybe you could have played a bit with the overall composition. I don't know how you shot it, but a non-square with the clock in one edge would look interesting too. Of course a "normal composed" image is always more comfortable for the watchers. But in a way, it loses its special touch. I'm not sure how to explain this the right way <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/a/a…" width="19" height="19" alt="
" title="Sweating a little..."/> What I mean: The topic/subject (means the clock) is beautiful, but not special. So it is the turn of the photographer to make it look unique, if you understand what I mean ^^ I don't want to critizise the way you composed the image now, I'm just saying it could have looked interesting when you tried to break the rules. Soooo... (I wrote too much again, sorry ^^) My conclusion: I love the subject - I'm really a fan of old, pretty, vintage things - although it's not the most creative one. I love the colors and the way you presented the clock in this still life. My one and only real "critique" is that you should be more courageous when it comes to composition, colors and overall presentation. Try different things that make you stand out of the crowd of still life photographers! It's nothing bad about following the traditional rules, but what really makes you different is your own style, your kind of "brand". It's hard to find, but I think you are on a good way <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/h…" width="38" height="15" alt="
" title="Hug"/> All in all I really really love this shot! You captured the overall feeling very very nice and intense... That is what makes it a wonderful photograph <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/h/h…" width="15" height="13" alt="
" title="Heart"/>(Haha, excuse my long comment on this... I really like it and wanted to express my opinion... pretty detailed as it seems ^^)
