What’s Your Preference?

Hi,

does this look better than my previous attempts without a light tent?

In my opinion, much better Martin

The colours and shapes are much crisper, so it's looking good. Did you find your light tent easier to use than the sunlight? I'm a big fan of the light tents and have made my own out of foam core board.

i didnt see your first one but I do think the yogurt container should be turned ever so slightly as the word fruit is almost too far to the left.

I didn't know you could spell yogurt with an 'h," hah! Silly me.
One thing I see is that the back edge of the spoon seems to disappear into the background. That's a difficult fix as it's so reflective. Maybe move it around and play with it a little to get it back.
One other thing, but it's completely not your fault, is the label. The package design is making the image look off center because the word 'fruit' isn't quite centered, but if you made it straight forward, the disconnected piece of the label starts to show more and is a bit odd. I don't really know how you would fix that, so I say leave it. The overall image still looks great.

How many light sources are you using?

Agreed. I'd also maybe move the spoon a smidge so that it's resting on the top instead of angled against it. There's something about its current position that just seems a little awkward.

Thanks everybody, only made use of one light source, on top of the tent, the light isn't the strongest, I will get myself a newer better one beginning of January.

Thanks again for the comments about the label and spoon, I must agree, will definitely play with it again. I am just glad I could make my own light tent and use it effectively.

Thanks for all the comments!
