I love the colors and the composition. The spiral of the head piece and feathers winding around the head and leading me around the frame and back to the face.
There are two areas that kind of pull me from the motion and subject. Lower left bright spot and the reflection on the pole above the head. I don't know if you can tone those two down just a bit or not.
That said, I really like the great job you did on seeing and capturing this.

If we change something in one part of the image, this quite often changes relationships and the visual importance of other things.

Backstory: I shot this at this year's neighborhood Super Bowl party. This was a centerpiece on a table setting and caught my eye. The lighting was difficult here, with conflicting light sources (kitchen can lights, dining room chandelier, window reflective light). I applied bounce flash to dampen some of that. The "pole" is actually a vase that was directly behind the Mardi Gras mask. This is an example where by re-study of the image I could crop from the bottom and left some more to take out some distracting qualities. |
