Miniature Tea Set

[hellfeier]

Was finding things around my house to try out my newly found hobby on. This happened to be one of my favorite pictures!

Oh, how cute! That tea set is lovely.
Nice play with wide open aperture, shallow DOF and window light only (I guess). Maybe you should have tried to really limit it to very few colours, the red and green splotches of the very OOF tablecloth are a smidge distracting, though not too much.

I agree. Cool idea, but I would have extended the table off the frame. There's just enough color back there to be distracting. Neat idea though.

I would select the color background and pull color out till it has very little color left..... wish the cup handle was not cropped, any more room? cute shot...worth redoing

Thanks! I still have the set, I'll see what I can do! It was purely window lighting, so setting this back up shouldn't be too hard. I might have accidentally cropped out the other handle when resizing the image for uploading purposes, I'll go take another look at the original.

Unfortunately I cropped out the handle whilst photographing the set. I'll go back to it today and see if I can't redo it!

So I just retook the photo and came up with this!

Very nice. Love the background.
Just so you weren't humming...I'm a little tea pot, short and stout...while you were taking it

Shot looks nice but you need to inc. your white value as it was way to the right on your posted reshoot.

I find the plate standing on edge in the background distracting.

Thanks! I'm new to post editing and haven't quite got it all down yet.

It is not about post editing but rather seeing what you have in the viewfinder. It is important to "see" what is in the background & deal with it, if possible.

Oh! Sorry, forgot to quote what I was replying to, which was editing my white / black threshold. Thanks though! I'll make sure to pay more attention to the whole composition, rather than just what my main focus of the piece is.

Glad I could be of help.
