Good shot, how about getting closer to the umbrella and take low angle shot? It might be able to emphasize more on the main object? great concept though, well done

I would be suggesting to make it in sepia, to give a bit more "old" photo like, but the main object itself tells the story of discarded vehicle - well done, love the use of lighting

How about having them placed not in one line, but putting one of the shoe in front of the other to create stepping shoes Good finding anyway - well done

What a pity...

If it's shot in darker mode and de-saturated a little bit, it might make scary horror scene great finding

Planning the murder

Agree with MossyB. Probably having the box placed at the 1/3 line from the bottom and getting closer to it could make the box becoming a bit more pronounce as the main object? Anyway, love the saturated colour, reflection on the water and how the leading line created by the "river". Well done

Black background is always effective against colourful object - and great concept having the flower comes out from the box. Well done

Ooooh, bleeding blueberry, and they are triple victims attached to the nail Nice concept and I don't mind to receive the remaining blueberries to avoid anymore victims

Brown against green can be quite effective as well, and the play with DOF creates interesting image out of it Well done

coffee beans

Great contrast between the main actors (bean) and the surrounding Great composition as well

More beans...

riady says:

In my opinion, the reflection make the image feels like having a ghosting, but love the lighting and the detail of the bean

riady says:

It's beautiful image, but probably by playing with lighting, the water droplet can be exposed a little bit more. Perhaps by using side lighting? Anyway, well done

A cup of Coffee?

riady says:

Great shot and love the idea to use the chocolate as "make up" It would be a great photo if the focus not a little bit off, or probably taking another round of photo and chocolate session as she enjoyed it very much Probably making the "cat" make up? And pre-focus and tripod would help as I assume, it's low light environment

(5 years and 2937 days ago)

Chocolate Love!
avatar riady
riady says:

I do agree with Friiskiwi suggestion to remove the colour cast. At the moment, it's a bit greenish. When the colour cast have been removed, the idea of showing inner side of the chocolate would be a great concept

Lovely shot - great DOF and white background makes the object stands out as well as great as a reflector on the spider to add the clarity and details on it - well done

Great shot, with dark background and environment, it adds the mysteriousness of the spider itself

riady says:

Wow, it's really cool shot. I can imagine how protective the mama spider to keep all of her children safe and sound. Also love the face of the spider itself. It looks like she is wearing goggles on her face Will it be her another trick to use infrared spy gadget at night to avoid any ambush attack ? lol - nice shot

Agree with Kyricom, increasing the contrast or even brightness might be able to add more wow on your already splendid capture. It looks like a thorny spider Nice DOF too

riady says:

Wow - great concept on showing the constraint of a robot by the technology. Nice execution as well, but as MossyB mentioned, the 3D depth was not conveyed in full capacity. Probably by putting soft shadow on the clothes behind the girl head will provide a bit more realistic dimension. But overall, love the idea and the concept

Is this Mc D just below an apartment - probably re-capture it when "less" or no clothes hanging in front the apartment wall Anyway, nice catch and this gives different look of Mc D. Well done

Good capture - do you think if you move backward a little bit, you can use the tree as the frame of the image? Wondering if that will emphasize the red and yellow colour of Mc D shop

riady says:

It's great idea to shoot at night time as it can show the light of Mac D logo and building interior. Agree with Friiskiwi and Kyricom on out of focus matter. Probably having it shot during a peak hour (at night) where a lot of vehicles moving around, and using longer shutter speed can create interesting image with stripes of light all over. And, in my opinion, I would like to crop or exclude the light on the top right corner as it can be a distraction of the overall image

I thought it's hula2 girl performing on the street, but when seeing closely, it's a "magic" brush that can paint by itself Well done, very realistic and imaginative
