Glass Vase

I'd like peoples comments on which of these they prefer. If at all.

I think the first for the added colour of the glass and the warmth of the light.

What I dont like is the setting, all those angles and creases, the shadowed light falling on the subject is OK but not on the backdrop.

You must try harder Barrie

Still better than I could do at least

Thanks Alan, I'll try again later.

I rather like the idea Barrie, and the execution of it as well with the folowing comment:
The only observation I'd make is concerning the one-sidedness of the light on the RHS - to me, it makes the shot look a little unbalanced?

The solution might be to move the subject/s a little further towards the left (or recompose the shot / readjust your shooting angles).

It is as you say Gareth "window light through a slatted blind"

I thought the light on the background broke up the black but it seems it should be like this?

I prefer the lasy one

Last one's very good indeed Barry

It does.

The new version you posted without it has no charisma at all. It's flat and lifeless

IMHO the original versions suffered from placement/composition, not the inclusion of the slatted light on the backdrop.


I would experiment with placement of the objects and put the slatted light back in.


perhaps try something with depth.... for example focus on the red glass and throw the two taller objects OOF by moving them forward and behind with a shallower DOF.
