I'm really beginning to appreciate how important photography is when you are tryiing to present your work on the web. I could sure use some help with this photo. It's 16" tall and 5" max width.
If I shoot it straight on I think the photo starts to look too flat. If I shoot from above I start to get perspective issues that make the piece look shorter than it is. Depth of field also starts to be more of an issue.
This picture was shot with a DSLR on a tripod, f8, 1 second, about 35mm (a 10-22 zoom with a 1.6 crop factor due to sensor size). The background was removed, replaced with a digital gradient and a shadow added.
All comments, critiques and suggestions welcome. If you care to offer your thoughts on the turning as well, they would also be welcome (good or bad).
