Tools (G and X) - Allan

Very nice use of lighting. I especially like the screwdriver that can be found in the background of your X image. The rope in your G bothers me a little, perhaps due to the texture. But overall, very nice.

I actually like the rope in the "g" photo - it doesn't confuse the message. I think it adds a setting factor.

I love the tonal range in these.

very clear and lovely overall.

Although I love the lighting, I'd love to see you crop in a little tighter on the "x".

Josh said...

I really like the shots that you have. I think that the overall theme is pretty interesting.

Very interesting objects and good compositions. I love the settings and think black and white works very well for these images.

nice start...tools are a great way to create the alphabet.

nicely controlled composition and cropping...small critique...be careful with the "spotlight" effect that is happening on the clamp.

otherwise...nice start.

1.Love the black and white interval texture on the clamp. Don't like the harsh light..

2.The focus is excellent (especially how you isolated the head of the screw).

I'm digging the selective focus on the screw head and the tonal range. Though I have to agree that the rope is a bit distracting.I think the random wood shavings on the ground give the background enough interest on their own.

Good job, love the contrast, and the color, especially love the x, that tough to make that an interesting composition with the little screw. I think you have pulled it off though, great focus and positioning

These are really well lit. The context is nice and the textures are really well done. Im interested to see the rest of the letters.

I really like these pictures. The intended letters are very clear, and I really like the use of woodchips in the background of all the shots.

These are some of my favorite so far... the contrast in the images is really nice, along with texture and lighting (i think the light in the middle of the clamp is a bit blown out though).

wonderful lighting and contrast. it creates an interesting mood.

These look good. I like the atmosphere created by the lighting. Are they all going to use this same style?

nice cropping. they read very well. i think these will turn out very nice as a series if you keep them black and white
