Grace A- Flower Bottle


 The title of the image is Flower Bottle. It was taken on November 16, 2021, and in my bathroom. It was taken with a Nikon D50. To edit it, I lowered the saturation a bit and raised the highlights, and used the dodge and burn tool on parts of the flower and the bottle. The pink petals were very bright, so I made the color a softer pink. I blurred the edges of the photo and it gave it a neat foggy look, and it centralized the focus more. It could be better if the flower wasn’t blurred so much, since it is the focal point of the photo.

I like how the DOF makes the flower less of the focus while the the stem and the bottle is more of the main focus and shows off the detail of the bottle while also making the the leaves pout more. I like the matching of the color with the background being pink as well as the flower being the same range of pink

This picture is so pretty especially because I love the color pink. There is no over or under exposures. I love how you made the flowers pop even though its kind of the same picture of the background.

I really like this picture, the colors and the aesthetics are great. I don't think that there are some spots that should be blurred that aren't but overall I think it's great.

The parts of the picture that are blurred (along with the background) really makes the photo aesthetically pleasing for valentines day. I think this image could have been cropped more because I think the flower is a little too close to the camera. But the lighting in this image is really soft and nice, I like how it draws your attention to the flower.

I really like your picture! I really love how the flower and the bottle are centered in the picture. I also love how the background is a softer pink than the flower. This makes the flower stand out more. I also like how the leaves and the bottle also contrast against the background. However, I do wish that half of the flower was not blurred because it takes away from the flower itself. Overall, I do like this picture and could see it in a museum.

I really like this photo. I think the soft pink background looks great with this. It is a very professional looking picture. The only thing I would change is the blurring, as I think it takes away from the beauty of the flower.

I really love how the color of the flower and the way the background matches it without drowning out the main subject. I think a good way to make this photo even better would be to make it more dull or test it in a black and white way or to make the flower a little less blurry. Over all it is a really cool picture!!

The lighting, colors, and arrangement is lovely. It looks like it was taken by a professional photographer, maybe for an advertisement or showcase. The blur, however, takes away from the professional look of it and is clearly edited in. Such an effect would work on some photographs, but it was unnecessary for this composition due to the already neutral background. The blur is jarring and makes a viewer focus on it rather than the actual subject.

Firstly. I like what you did to the focus on the subject. I can see that you blurred the edges of the subject. I also like the color of the background and subject. The background really brings out the subject. I also think it was a good idea to keep the subject in the center. This photo simply so pretty and beautiful. I think this is a great photo for Valentine Day. Good Job!
