Below is the final image I have produced of the frosted berries.
In my original blog I suggested that this could be the image for a Christmas card. When I googled “frosted berries image” various links came up including the following two:
1. Don Beck.
The image below was available as a limited edition of 50, printed on canvas for 580 dollars
This is a very simple but effective image. When enlarged the focus for the berries is perfect with a narrow depth of field, absolutely imperative for a large image on canvas. The 3 berries dominate the picture with all leading lines taking you straight to them.
1. Red Snapper Christmas Cards
This site produces Christmas cards which can be printed and sold for companies, individuals or charities.
This image is more similar to my own, with the great advantage for a Christmas scene of lots of unblemished snow. The composition is also similar to my own.
Which is the ‘better’ image?
To be honest I think all 3 are very good images. My least favourite is that by Don Beck. I love to see such berries in large quantities, with red being the dominant colour. I prefer my own image to that from Red Pepper. I think mine is a stronger image, visually more challenging. The snow scene would certainly be popular for a Christmas scene, but I believe my own would be equally effective.
In conclusion – I think mine is the better image. When exhibited at a large size Don Beck’s may be the most effective, but my own image will certainly hold its own.
