The focal point of this image is a very ornate, glass object boasting a bright white, crystal, blue coloration. My guess is that it is that the object is a flower vase but the way the image is cropped, the viewer is unable to tell. The object is shot with a short depth of field, allowing me to see all of the carefully crafted lines and shapes which is beautiful. I can get a sense for the texture of the object – the bumpiness, pointiness and roundness created by the shapes from the clear focus on the object. I think this image fits in well with the other works submitted for this topic.
The majority are shot with a short-depth of field just as this one to give the viewer the best perspective of the detail on each canvas. And, the majority of subjects shot are objects –fabrics, a light fixture, coins, corks, etc. – that are relatively small in size but full of intricate details. A great deal of texture is evident in all of these submissions.
Additionally, the majority of the images possess an excellent use of space by allowing the subject shot to fill the entire size of the canvas. The focal point is immediately clear without stuff in the peripheral or the background to have any effect on what the photographer wanted me to see first. I only wish the photographer zeroed in even further on the object at hand by cropping another inch and half off the top of this image. I would like to see more of the body of the glass object and don’t feel the top opening is as important to capture.
On the other hand, when the detailed subject was shot with space surrounding it (in the case of the light fixture, the wall sculpture, and the ribbon), the photographers effectively used a solid or blurry background to give it less importance. Also, I think it is interesting to note the only living thing that was shot was a spider because of the detailing of the surrounding web. Everything else was a tangible object.
