This image has a strong feel of separation of light and
dark, with the deep grey of the background and light white of the table
contrasting one another. The visible centre of the bowl stands out as the white
contrasts the backdrop, letting the viewer focus start on the bowl then work
its way down the stack of plates. The stack itself is somewhat confusingly
done, perhaps due to poorly defined lines or a confusing perspective; this could
have been easily avoidable by not having the plates stacked one on top of the
other when arranging the items for the image.
There are some positive points however that could be made
about this image too; the use of highlights and shadows to create the curved
and reflective feel of the crockery works well, as well as the impression of
reflection on two of the plates where we can see the dark reflection of the
items on top of them. The shadow on the
table, while further confusing the image does compliment work well against the
white table, the shadow also succeeds in accurately portraying the height of
the stack as the shadow fades to the left. It should also be noted that the horizontal
edge of the table and the bottom plates in the stack also roughly follow the
rule of thirds.
