This first photo was my favorite. I love the texture that you see, but I also think that because it is such a close shot it actually directs you to look beyond the torch toward the window on the barn in the back. If it had been farther away and you could see the whole torch I think it would draw you to look only at the torch and not what was behind it.
This shot on the other hand has a pretty simple background, so there isn't much to look at besides the torch. I again like the texture that you can see in the grass below, as well as the shadows in the weaving. The lighting is a little bright -- I wish the weaving wasn't as washed out, which is probably why I didn't like this one as much as the first.
I like the first picture also, it looks beautiful and very artistict for such a simple object.
ReplyDeleteyour first picture had me wondering what it was, i had to go onto your blog and find out. Very nice
ReplyDeleteI like the angle of the top down shot. It gives it an interesting background. There are some focusing issues and contrast issues but if you resolve those it seems like an interesting take. Maybe try the same shot with some different settings?
ReplyDeleteThe tightness of the first shot is great!
