For the Concept challenge LOVE by :iconaksdareflection:

My little wooden friend has completely fallen for the Pepper Mill :D
They are Two of a Kind - look at the love in his eyes!

I made a lightbox a while ago and tried to shoot this using it - but I still got very harsh shadows - more practise required!

I tried using fill flash, then rear flash, but ended up using no flash at all. I turned the box and let the sunlight flood in the window at my back.

All critiques (read help!) warmly welcomed !

PS - the image on here seems to have a kind of blurring round the wooden items - it does NOT look like that in my photo editor, it's sharp...I'm trying to fix this by resubmitting the image, but after two attempts it still looks the same on here :confused: I'm working on it!

- OK that's the third change - I even changed the writing in the title to make sure that the file was actually changing - it still looks the same! :shrug: I'm guessing that the slightly raised stripey texture in the background has something to do with the chaos! (to be avoided next time :) )

Final edit - I think it's fixed !

Nice concept.

I think the blurring may be the .jpg compression. Try saving at a higher quality. If that's not it, then I'm baffled too! :)

i absolutely love this shot.


its a great concept...the type that makes me think "why didnt i think of this sooner?!"

great job and interpretation of the subject!


ps- the blurring might be an optical illusion due to the contrasting colors...maybe?

I agree with purplerose on the cause of the blurring, though it could also be caused by the color of the background. Try a background that contrasts more with the color of the wood - perhaps a dark blue or purple.

:D Thank you Kris, I appreciate the :+fav:, especially as the quality on this isn't up to much! I have no idea what's going on!

Well...it's saved at the highest quality possible....RAW to Jpeg at 12 on the scale. It's probably a mix of colour, texture and small image...the full size image looks fine on PhotoFiltre!

Glad you like it - thanks for the comment :hug:

:D Thanks Pat! I think this little guy may end up with a folder all to himself - so many things to do with him! :D

I thought about that too...but it's for LOVE, Valentine's and all that :D Hey it's just for fun - it doesn't need to be perfect....just as long as this doesn't happen regularly :faint:
