LPS#4 Intelligent Design

pyroPrints.com

I played around with with quite a few ideas. Usually I try not to mix 2 themes together, but in this case I think it had to be done =c) Now I still have to do quite a bit of PP, but I want to know what you guys think about the compositions. Don't mind the oversaturation and the imprefections. Any advice is always apreciated.

#1


#2


#3


#4


#5

Swartzy

I'm leaning towards #4
I like this composition overall. I'd like to see the wax thingy a bit more as it blends in with the white a bit too much...other than that, I like it as is.

I voted #3.
#3 and #5 are the only ones with the clean borders. For "design" theme I think it's important to show the "tabula rasa" of the white paper/canvas.

Between the #3 and #5 I have chosen #3 because it's more highkey, again melting with the ultimate white of the paper and the concept of having something "divine" (i.e. intelligent design). I'd even play with some sort of glow to imcrease this message (just not too much)

Very nice idea in any case:-)

PS.

What is that yellowish translucent object doing here? I don't get it at all

I would have also replaced the strawberry in the drawing with the blended picture of THE strawberry. Vanishing Point to the rescue!

That object looks much cooler in my head. It's actually a partial carving of a strawberry from stone. I'm gonna see if i can enhance it a bit. Thanks for the feedback guys =c)

Wow. I didn't see that at all. I think the carving ought to be front and center with all the other components as supporting actors. Rather than using the flat light you have now, try a more directional light source to reval the form of the carving. One possiblity is to use a desktop halogen and actually place the light source in the frame as one of the actors in your composition. Including the light souce often makes an image look a little less clinical.

Any significant fixes you can suggest or is it perfect

I think the carving belongs in the front as it is the work in progress. You might prop up the drawing in the background which will give you some flexibility to lower the camera angle.
