I like the lighting
on the pumpkin in your post #22.
I find most all aspects of #31 appealing regardless if it is realistic or not.
I personally like the sharpness of the shooting stars,
Depending what you are trying to achieve I like the angle in #22 and #42.
I like that the entire floor is grass in your last two posts.
I like some DOF but not to overdo it.
Seems too much in life is hazy and shifts too easily now a days.
In the very first art class I took in college the professor was adamant about
painting or drawing what YOU see not what other people see.
He encouraged making the outline of objects zig-zag or scalloped or dotted or
abnormally thick or thin in some areas.
In the same token I suppose sometimes the artist has to cater to what the the public likes.
Never-the-less the public is fickle - so no one ever really knows.
No - wait a minute - I changed my mind.
Pft!
I suppose my opinion is worth only 1/4 of a penny to most
. . .
but it's how I personally see it. It's just my opinion and no harm meant to anyone.
Thanks for posting a picture of your lighting set-up!
I really struggle with lighting and your set-up helps me a lot.
After all is said and done:
Isn't it how the artist sees the whole picture that makes him great?
Thanks for sharing all your work with us.
My Best
