Composition

I like this photo, but as you say in the title 'Composition', the important elements are the composition, colours and plays of shadow. I know that texture is there, which adds richness to the photo overall, but I wouldn't have described it as the main theme. However, as the PT theme could be said to provide us with a jump start to create our own images, you have done a great job.

When I first looked at this, I thought it was a deck and the photo was taken from an above position. Turns out I was wrong and it's a fence so there's a bit of abstractness to this, and I like that. However, I think the highlights in the bottom two boards are slightly overblown, taking away from the textures that could be found there. I find it fits the texture theme because it's not just the wood that offers texture, but the clothes and the shoes as well.

I appreciate the idea, PT, because I enjoy the texture of the timber and see heaps of potential with draping a softer/ smoother texture over its roughened skin. I might have kept it more simple : one article - a silk wrap or sheet - at something of a diagonal....also working on contrasting the straight lines with rounded edges.

Ditto to Seven's comment about number of items.

Might look nice too if one of the slippers was just about to fall ?

 

Great textures in the upper half of the photo - less so in the lower half.

Could also darken the shadows.

 

Thanks PT members.

Seven and Dominique, ,the composition was found ready, I did not composed it only photographed it, so could not change a thing in its contents. Darkening the shadow and work a bit more selectively on the lower part can be done by PS. Thanks foR all your uploaded points. PT
