Comments on this shot

The more I look at them all, the more I really don't like them, I mean I do but I was all over the place. Like this one I really didn't striaghten the matt and the black thread is not striaght. I think I'm going to mess around this Saturday, and see what I come up with. I wish, however I still had a marco, lens.

I get where you are going with these pictures. I would use the chop sticks as a lead in to the picture and have the bowl in the first shot the destination. Just turn the chop sticks to run with the depth of shot one on the left side of the bowl and increase the DOF a bit.

Very creative, these are both great concepts however the slightly out of focus backgrounds draw the users eye their first because of their color. Try using a more neutral background to make the chop sticks “pop out” and draw the user’s attention to them as, the main focal point.

damn MD your Portfoilo is sweet!! Man I really need start on one. Thanks for the input. I might be getting a PowerBook here soon, which means I can finally work at home instead here at the studio.

Mike your work generated a great response.

That in itself is praise - even if some sounds critisisim

Look forward to more work on show

Thanks Charnat!! I was just bored, and wanted to start shooting more at home. You ever feel like why even bother picking up a camera? I mean sometimes I feel like I really truely suck.

Thank you, very much!

sounds like an artist's quandary, I think this is what makes us strive for perfection.

Thanks man! It does, doesn't it

The first shot is very nice. I can see it hanging on the wall in a sushie bar. I would like to see the same shot with a long dof (just to compare). More importantly, I think the image would look better if the petals were not cut off at the top.
