NEW Intermediate Assignment #4: Primary Colour

@Berean: Both images are interesting in their own right, but I'm going to ask you to have another go at this one. The first shot certainly gets most of it's effect from the blue, but the contrast against the white is not giving the impact expected for this assignment. Your second entry may have made an interesting entry in the low-key assignment, but we are looking for something a bit brighter here.

Cheers... Brian

I see a double pass coming up -- the Exif is included (eureka!) and the shot is right. I will leave it to Brian or Pieter to confirm the latter.

@Berean: Now tha's what I'm talkin' 'bout . The glare at the upper right is a distraction, but I'd call it a pass. Cheers... Brian

Exif, what exif?

Thank you p_man: finally sorted the exif!

Is this the edge of a flag?

Looks a little like the Union flag, doesn't it? In reality, it's a British road sign edge, polarised against the blue sky.

Ok,

First attempt at primary colour. I wasn't overly happy with the picture to start with due to the shadow line that runs at an angle behind the subject and other minor areas (e.g. not sure about the spoon reflection) but I've got to stop worrying and just post more...I have altered brightness and contrast in pp to help the strawberry 'pop' a bit more.

I hadn't been thinking about this assignment as much as others (that I haven't got round to...must take some lessons out of Ians book!) so would really appreciate some CC to clarify if I am thinking in the right direction

I'll have a go at it. I was seeing red today.

Agree with brettania, all 3 reds are not vibrant/clear. Seems they are have some other colors mixed in and are more pinkish/pastel. The themes are nice for the assignment but the colours need to be more in our face. Hope you don't mind to try again.
