PHOTO STAFF CRITIQUE
“Warm, golden light illuminates the apples, pail, wooden box and planks, creating an inviting still life with character. Apples spilling out of the metal pail are located in the lower half of the frame. The apples are arranged in a planned order. Notice how the apples direct you into the pail and then outward toward the apple in the foreground. There is enough pull from the circular motion of the four apples to hold you in the lower half of the photo. Edges of the wooden box fall along the top and left edges of the image, helping the composition. The different angles of the wooden box and the pail, along with the positioning of the apples, give the image plenty of depth.”
