I really like this. The vibrant bow compared to the sort of muted other colours is lovely. However, I didn't really like how it was cut off at the top, but there was quite a lot at the bottom - maybe could do with some cropping? I love the colours, but the picture itself isn't very interesting - maybe try the same technique with some other object? It also looks sort of pre-arranged, e.g. the way you have tied the bow, and (this is just my personal opinion) I prefer it when photos look spontaneous, even if they have been arranged already. I hope this is helpful! Sophie

I agree, but to an extent. This does look pre-set, but you could change that. Perhaps try a different angle, zoom in a little and focus on just part of the camera, rather than the entire piece of equipment, and maybe even toy with the contrast feature, found through your pictures program on your computer. Just a little tweaks here and there are okay, as long as you don't go overboard.
Otherwise, I do like this. It is unique, interesting, and has its own appeal to it. Keep taking pictures! You get better with every shot.

Ooh, this is nice. I agree with what sophiesays said about the bow-it does create a very nice effect. I can see what you trying to do with angle, but I'm a bit torn on it. Although I like that it creates the illusion that the camera is falling, it gives me a bit of a headache if I look at it for too long. Perhaps making it a bit less steep? Otherwise, I really liked it!

I like the angle that you took this picture at. It's a very clear picture too. The white background is kind of boring. Maybe try something with a little color or design but not so much that it takes away from the actually picture. I like the pop of color the bow gives against the gray and black of the camera.

Hey Maria! That's a nice photo. Red and black is always awesome!
I like the fact that you've tried a different angle, but somehow it doesn't come across as wow. Personally, I find the shadow a bit disturbing. Also; the ribbon-tied effect gives me a sort of 'Just-from-the-shop' effect which I'm not sure I quite like.
Anyway, it's a good effort. Cheers, ~Lava

What I really like about this picture is the contrast of colours. The camera and the bow really do look good together. However, this doesn't mean that the shot as a whole looks great. At the moment, like other people have said, it looks a little set up and the angle is kind of odd. A suggestion I do have is that you make the background slightly more interesting. Although you obviously don't want to detract from the camera, what you could do is make the photograph a theme somehow, like a birthday present or something. So, by thinking of a scenario that this camera could be in, you immediately make the photograph more interesting!
Hope this helps!

Well definitely you haven't combined different colours. The pics cool but is looking raw.... I din't kniow how to express this but try to click it from some other angle. That would be great.. Keep up !!!!!!!!

This is one of those interesting pieces of photography where it really depends on each individual interpretation, because at the end of the day what you have here is a very simplistic idea.
My thoughts on it is that I love it. The angles, pose of the camera that kind'a gives it that personalized, human-ish feel and the beauty of the colour contrast that doesn't make it seem too stupid, blurred or run over with some daft affect. I think that next time though, your photography could benefit from a good hit of originality because I think the ideas of photographing a dressed up object at alternate angles is a little over used.
Anyway, hope this helps and keep up the photography! Ben
