[QUOTE="Kodiak, post: 181389, member: 15426"] Right! … Art, you ran for it! Now, Let's see… At first glance… Black backgrounds… why not? Framing in over done and much too tight anyway! I will reject the third picture as flash test… does not qualify for a critique. The two others are an other ball game. Completely! [ATTACH=CONFIG]46553[/ATTACH] The exposition is good. The expression is just fair because only the glass has a special treatment. The bottle, that IS the product, is not so eye catching as the glass… this takes the attention on the wrong spot. Black glass is cool but rather insufficient control of the specular lights. This was taken with an inadequate lens for the purpose; the compression is too high and the perspective was not chosen wisely. The set is not clean… most unforgivable! As a long time whisky amateur, I can say that the glass is everything but a whisky glass and is totally inappropriate… This faux-pas would infuriate any art director! The picture appears sharp and the general tonal range very well picked for this type of application. ___________________________________________________________________ [ATTACH=CONFIG]46554[/ATTACH] It would all be so perfect if… I love those dramatic falloffs like the one on the bottom left of this picture! When you set up the needles on the face of the watch, you had it square to your face and eyes, right? Now that it is in place on the table top, the angle of two of the needles is still right but not the "seconds" needle! It is either two seconds too late or too early! … because the position of the watch to the camera is not the best. The numbers 4 and 6 should be at least partially readable; #4 is invisible and #6 is hardly distinguishable. From the axis 1 through 8, the watch should have been lowered to give visual access to at least part of the numbers 4 & 6. This positioning small correction would possibly have affected positively the place of the "seconds" needle between 6 and 7. The dof is clearly insufficient: the 47th through the 52th seconds markers are way too soft. Otherwise, the light is great and the specular spots are very well under control. ___________________________________________________________________ [ATTACH=CONFIG]46555[/ATTACH] Rejected, does not qualify. Must have been a flash test or you are pulling my leg! ___________________________________________________________________ Like everyone else, I may have strong opinions but that does not make me right! These comments are based on my subjective experience. [/QUOTE]
