Subject: Critique: Rich Baker (Background - 6 photos)
Figurine - I'm so glad you used the same subject in each one of your background
shots because it really shows what a different background does to the
subject. You set it all up very well, the exposure's good, the lighting
was good, as was the composition. Kind of wished I could
have seen more of the miseltoe/mistletoe/missiletoe/misseltow that the
guy was holding in his hand, but I quibble. The red I think was kind of
overpowering; the black was good; the white was blah; the blue was terrific
and I agree with you that it really set off the figurine from the background.
Flower - What I really like about the flower shot is your angle. It's
a very unusual angle from which to approach a flower and so I commend
you. The flower's kind of okay (i.e., not perfect), but I like how you
warmed it up by using a yellowish (complementary) background.
Nicely done.
