clivefox 1 Posted January 29, 2008 Personally I like the image posted, it has warmth and a strong tonal range. the plates blend to perfect black whilst the garlics are not overly exposed. I agree with some of the previous comments regarding the lone garlic, for me if the garlic were placed in the bowl and the bowl pulled forward this would have made the image more realistic and balanced.Regards Clive Link to comment
mg 0 Posted January 31, 2008 Ok... So, all you did was to burn the garlic: a montage wasn't necessary... Even better ! :-) That's the advantage of using window light - less contrasted than studio flashes. Well done ! Link to comment

donna pagakis 0 Posted February 8, 2008 A beautiful still life Rakesh. Great exposure, textures and design. Excellent photo of the week. Very nice work! Congratulations!!! Link to comment
gegjr 0 Posted March 1, 2008 I do like the photo. I think many might like to have it on their kitchen wall. However, all technical "stuff" aside, it is not my style of still life. I prefer still life that is not setup just to make a photo. Also, one of the first things I said when I viewed the picture in the newsletter was "what's holding the plate up". Additionally for me there is not enough contrast, i.e., not black enough and not white enough. But it is a nice picture. Rakesh, thanks for letting me view your work and allowing it to be critiqued. I learned much. Sincerely, GEGJr. Link to comment
judy_horton 0 Posted March 21, 2008 I love this photo. The almost all dark objects and background with the garlic reminds me of an old master painting. Link to comment
