Critique Style Requested: Standard
The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.
Description
Our property is pretty much carpeted with this flower this time of year and it’s a bulb that managed to survive in this area for years under a canopy of Scotch Broom without dying out, so I figured I could safely cut a couple of stems to get them out of the breeze and do some stacking. I took shots without the bottle top showing, but I liked this one better.
Specific Feedback
How’s the composition? Are the light border lines a bit too light to be effective? I tried leveling the bottle using both sides of the bottle , but neither is absolutely vertical, so I just played it by ear-close enough? Anything else?
Technical Details
Sony A7Rv, FE 70-200 f/4 macro @ 70 mm, 70 images at f/5, 1/125, iso 200. Light from a bathroom skylight and a white paint canvas as background. Pulled up the exposure and highlights, and dragged down the shadows in LR, Straightened and added a touch of canvas on the sides in PS using content aware fill and added the border.
