A good day to all CSers, i would like to seek your C&C for the following picture...
Camera: Canon EOS 1000D
Lens: 50mm f/1.8
Exposure: 1/60 sec @ f/3.5
ISO: 100
Flash: Fired (Canon 580 EX I)
These are generally the specific areas i would like to seek critique on:
1. in what area is critique to be sought?
- Composition wise, would it be better to have the whole flower in the frame rather than cropping it so?
- Focus wise, would it be better to have the whole picture in focus rather than only the daisy?
- Is the colour here acceptable or flat?
2. what one hopes to achieve with the piece of work?
- To invoke a sense of warmth by the bears hugging in the background, seemingly looking at the daisy (which my girlfriend nick named the "sun" btw). This is also the reason why I had it focused on the daisy.
3. under what circumstance is the picture taken? (physical conditions/emotions)
- Photo was taken in the comfort of my room, using my window blind as a background as i wanted a 'clean' one to work with. I guess I was feeling all hyped up on receiving those as a gift from my girlfriend who wanted to cheer me up since I'm on long MC.
4. what the critique seeker personally thinks of the picture
- I forgot to remove the 'string' at the top of the bears head, and I personally think it is slightly distracting.
