Unrequited Love; V2, V3.
A continuation of last week's post. After doing that shot, I thought "Why didn't I make it like how I started the series, with a minimal look from top?". Playing around with composition, I've arrived at these two. I kind of like V3 because the shadows show the curvature of the broken matchstick clearly, but that shadow is also "eating" a portion of the rose, and probably I would need to put on extra effort here to eliminate that shadow alone separate from the matchsticks. Version 2 wasn't quite appealing because of the direction of the shadows here, despite the clear illumination of the rose.
So, in comparison to the first version that I've posted last week, I think I'd still stick to the original, first version, but who knows - I might revisit this later on (now, I'm trying to work on a new idea, and ASAP!).
