Boss Dog hit the nail on the head. I call it "seeing the light" Take those small steps and they add up to better and better images. Big improvement with a simple fix :)

I'm going to give the rest of the group a while to rate this and then I will give it a going over myself...

I agree completely... Duplicate ratings. As for the poster I like it, but you don't have to show the whole thing. The knife is the star, the others are extras. Cropped closer, with the knife tipped a bit more it'd be a different shot. I really like the way he looks at her, she looks at the...

Have at it :)

Anthony, its a great shot. And now knowing what it was intended for I'd say you really hit the nail on the head. There's no magic going on here. It's all about practice and attention to detail. Maybe a little luck too ;)

PS, you guys can tell me to shut up at anytime :D Slow afternoon at the job...

1 = seriously flawed 2 = one or more minor flaws 3 = no significant flaws 4 = better than average 5 = almost as good as it gets The five categories are... 1. Composition 2. Lighting 3. Color 4. Clarity 5. Creativity Composition 3-while there are no significant flaws, all the elements sort...

1 = seriously flawed 2 = one or more minor flaws 3 = no significant flaws 4 = better than average 5 = almost as good as it gets The five categories are... 1. Composition 2. Lighting 3. Color 4. Clarity 5. Creativity Compostion. Sadly it gets a 1. I'd give this a 5 if it were the knife...

Edited to add: You guys are fast! my critique below is for Buddy's original image. Great idea Buddy. JD, this system gives those of us who don't have an extensive knowledge of photography a system or frame work to work with in and it'll lead to discussion. All should learn and benefit. As...

Tough is right. There are a couple shots that would be so much better if they were centered left and right… and when you are eliminating based on nits like that... it is a good group. Buddy's shot is stellar as always, But my vote goes to Fred's Edge in Post #19. It may not be as technically...

Thanks for all the votes all. Wow. I'm honored. The Boss Dawg hit it on the head with his comment about it being a 'seller's photo' That's what my life in advertising has done to me. lol. Thank you all again :)

A Brusletto kit blade that I did the handle on. This is one of my go to users. Shot in the light box, 2 lights and a white board to lighten the shadows. I slightly opened up the shadow, on the bottom of the handle, in Light Room and added a hint of a vignette to focus attention on the center of...

Super image Buddy! MVP, that's looking really good as well :)

You are too kind... there is still some there lol

I'd go along with seasonal... once we get past the holidays and deal with the long winter, it'll pick up.

Looking good! I like to think of that as knife "hot rodding" :)

Week 2 submission… Something from the archives, shot before I had my light tent and hot lights. I'm a sucker for reflections. :D This was shot on a black plexiglass scrap. Here is the set The light source is an old light box like you'd use to view your slides or trace artwork like a...

I've never sold a knife... but... I would think that as long as you aren't misrepresenting the piece (hiding flaws), adjusting the photo would be fine.

Great idea. I like all of the challenges. If you want to make one really hard... 3+ knives. It'd be fun to see everyone's sets as well, but that's me.

That's a beauty! Bravo!
