Title: Need critique
Post by: nothingness on February 05, 2009, 23:30

Hi:

Not sure if this is stock-worthy, but would like feedback anyway?

Thank you much,

I like it. But for stock nothing immediately hits me like "I could use this for..." so I don't think it will sell like crazy. Looks more like art to me but I'd say it's worth trying.

I would definitely upload it.  I have a much worse one of chairs, probably one of the worst images in my portfolio and it has sold a few times so I think that this one could to quite well.   I like the composition of it.

What I would do is to crop it just below that window in the right side. Then I would play a bit with some layers masks and lighting effects to emphasise the light on the first chairs and then how it dissipates on the last chairs. Or I would even the light on all chairs as much as possible. Either way, I would "pop" it up a bit.
If you have the raw of the file try a HDR from at least 3 exposures, play around see how it goes.

Good shot.

I would definately upload it and agree with alan with that you need to play with the lighting a bit to really bring the chairs out more

I think it is stock material and has potential to sell ok.
You can be surprised sometimes how some images sell!

poor or uneaven lightning. background too distracting, you should use shallower DOF.  bad image for stock.
