World In Bottle - Berries

Vision: I can sort of see what you're communicating with this image - it feels peaceful and seems so say "sit back, relax," while also saying "look at me, I'm just one tiny part of a whole big world." It's just a little difficult to understand what it is exactly you're trying to communicate. 4/5. If this seems like overly critical gibberish, I apologize; I'm merely trying to comprehend something I've never seen, and I tend to personify and anthropomorphize photos anyway...


Originality: 6 out of 5. Not kidding. It deserves it. I've never seen anything like this before. Absolutely brilliant. As far as I can tell, it's a totally new, hereto unseen style. You mix organic and inorganic shapes (and chemical compounds) in one scene, and it's stunning.


Technique: First off, the photo is crisp and the depth of field is used to great effect. Secondly the composition is excellent. The fore and backgrounds are also used to effect, adding a sense of depth and intimacy, which is exactly what they should be used for. The subject is placed in the center of the frame, drawing the eye immediately to the shape of the berries and neck of the bottle, then allowing the eye to wander to the foreground and background, taking in the scenery and setting the bottle in perspective, in size and shape.

Impact: Simply put, I want to go out and try this for myself. I want to combine nature and still life photography in one unified art form, as this does. This is now my favorite deviation. I don't know what else to say, aside from "good job," and "if someone's gonna buy this you better make the pay a lot for something as brilliant as this." This is top-notch work. Good job.
