Sleeping Pumpkin

My original intention is to create contrasts in both contexual and elements. Peaceful

sleep contrasted active diagonal lines. Blue contrasted orange and yellow. But the

white wall on the upper-right corner was troublesome to me... cropping was

obviously impossible... what do you think?

I think the rug distracts me a bit in the pic,but this is such a cute picture. I like the softness.

I agree about the rug. I think you should try cropping the photo square, it seems like it has nice balance that way. It's a great photo!

Ken, Sawat Dii Khrap!

 

I liked this image alot and found it very striking.

The colors are excellent - contrasting 'hot' cool colors with the warm floor hues. Nice.

 

The diagonal of the couch gives a nice effect.

 

But the rug at the bottom bugged me a lot.

I have posted a 2 sec. Pshop retouch example for you to see what I was thinking. Perhaps there is another object that would have worked better there than the rug.. but I felt your colors and composition were so strong that the rug really detracted from it..

 

Anyhow, only my 2 cents

 

Chohk dii Khrap!

First of all , I like the rug . It keeps the picture from being unbalanced ( without it , you have no reason to look at the bottom of the frame ) .The colour combination is very aesthetically pleasing . Could you reshoot without the wall ( maybe a window with a blue sky instead ?

I disagree about the rug, as well. It definitely adds to the picture. Great color. Nice pumpkin. Good tone throughout.

I think you succeeeded in your stated goals for this image. Also, it looks like the baby is on a kind of hyper-modern cloud.

Thank you all of you for taking the time..... thank you.

I greatly appreciate for your thoughts and generous ratings. I'd consider all your inputs as well as my client's (in this case it was my brother) and decided to leave the work this way. It may not be as clean as everyone want to see but I think the pattern of the rug adds to the context of the story in this photograph. Thank you again.
