ch34 - doctorit's "spheres" (try #2)

[DoctorIt]

Well I wasn't about to shave off the beard, so I scrapped the silhouette idea... for now. And after more and more minimalist research, I came up with the most devoid of feeling scene I could.

I just call it "spheres", but you can call it "gumballs" :lol3

Here's two versions:

Anything? I did some different things with the lighting and RAW conversion in both shots. So it's minimalist for sure, but... eh :dunno

Definately minimalism. IMO you need the backround to be much whiter. I think your silohette was a great idea beard and all..

gumballs? oh good, i was afraid your avatar was a clue to the content :D

I prefer #2 because of the direction of the shadows. you can appreciate the white gumball better. I agree with Labby that the background needs to be whiter, crisper.

I agree about the background too. The second one almost looks a little blue. I think I like the first shot better though. I just want to grab some more gumballs and put them in the second one or something. It just seems so empty to me. (or maybe its just the fact that its about 1:30 am and my eyes aren't focusing anymore) Sorry if I've just been no help at all. This is a great idea, I just think it still needs a little tweaking.
