Thank you :)
Comment from Sange
What I love most about this is the soft lighting and vintage look to the background.
I like the set up of the 3 strawberries in the glass, but I am not fond of the two large ones at the base.
Focus is soft on the one in the middle at the bottom which distracts from the beauty of the ones in the glass.
I always like your work Meg, so my critique is more on presentation and camera techs.
Lovely comp despite my view.

Lol. Sange almost every reviewer has felt the same about those berries at the base. I really learned a hard lesson about composition with this one. On the good side, I learned some things about the post processing that I did not know before. :) Mary Eileen

Then you get what this site was created for long ago and most here lost sight of that.
I refuse to join the high five fluff club here.
Lying helps no one learn or grow in their craft.
I like your creativity in your work Meg, I like your willingness to learn more.

Well, reviews given in the right way have really helped me improve since I joined FAR. I have really come a long way. I try to see what other artists have done to create their work and I really appreciate the tips I have been given. Thank you.

Oh I like this one. Your arrangement is nicely done and the after photo effects are perfect to compliment the scene. You always just such a darn good job girl. Keep them coming ~ Steve

Thank you Steve. I am still learning about the finer points but my post processing is improving with each one.
Comment from Life is but a dream.
Meg, I've gone past this image at least 3 times...
I think your post processing is great, you are really getting a handle on how to post process with that special professional look.
I think you already know what I'm about to tell you because I feel you know it already. It is those HUMUNGOUS strawberries at the base of the crystal glass, dimensionally they are wrong and need to be smaller/preferably eliminated completely. The middle one is also soft and out of the focal range. You need a sharp dof and tripod.
The other point is something for you to consider for next shoots. Our brains find even numbered objects boring...so 6 is less exciting than 5 berries . Try using uneven focal points and see if that causes your images to have a more magnetic appeal.
I do however love the colour palette, it's scrumptious :-)

Comment from mamamary
I'm sorry for the rating my friend. The background is gorgeous and really adds a lot to you subject. The problem I have are the strawberries around the bottom of the glass. They either needed to be smaller or not there at all. They are very distracting to me.

Thank you. I have had other reviewers say the same thing. It seems to be problematic for several others. That is why an honest review is helpful to me. It is something that I will watch out for with future work . :)
-
That is why this site is so helpful. I don't want someone to say what I want to hear. I'd rather they be truthful with me so I can improve. Or what is the point? I am glad you accepted my review in the manner it was given.
-
No problem..It was a good review and you were correct with your review. The only time I get upset with a review is when it is given to be hurtful. Thank goodness that is rare but it did happen to me. It was from a traditional artist who was on here and was just trying to be disruptive and hurtful. I had to mute him because he was just mean. Mary Eileen

I'm sorry that happened to you. Shame on whoever.

Yum look at those strawberries, this would make a great painting for someone because it's so close up you can see all of the detail.

From the title and the shot I have been wondering why there are some strawberries outside the bowl? Your central composition is very appropriate and your various treatments have worked well. Fine effort!

Comment from Tiffany L.
I just adore this photo. I love the background colours. They are not too bright and really allow for the strawberries to stand out making for a dramatic impression. Incidentally....my favorite fruit. Beautifully placed and pleasing to the eye. Thank you for sharing.
