Re: Sports chair
Your stuff is always amazing but a few technical points;

The reflection of the wheelchair's rear wheel isn't right, and the reflection of the ball fades too suddenly, plus the reflection of the ball doesn't give the ball any depth as it's right on the edge of the ball if you understand what I mean. I will try to give an example if I have enough time.

But otherwise the image is right on the money.

Becky

Edit: I quickly set up the camera to photograph this ball (the dog's ball hence the teeth marks) in a similar position and angle and if you see where the ball meets it's reflection there is an overlap.

I agree with Becky, your visuals are fantastic!

I know all too well how difficult reflections can be, especially when it's this complex - the left wheel's reflection does need some work, as it appears yto fall in the wrong direction. The basketball can be fixed by moving the reflection so the top falls slightly behind the bottom of the ball and give it a little more of a gradient fade.

I would also be tempted to either remove the seating from the left side or at least fade it out a little more, as it seems a little cluttered where it sits behind the spokes of the wheel.

That aside, keep up the good work, you clearly have an eye for design!!

Re: Sports chair
Coupla things regarding light and composition,

the light onto the basketball doesnt match the light on the wheelchair - seems to be coming from different angles.

Composition, and this is just a suggestion, the whole thing seems very claustrophobic - think that the hoops are low down in the image and therefore they lose any sense of height, I'm sure if you were looking at one from the viewpoint of a wheelchair that they would seem taller

look forward to seeing the final image

Thanks for the feedback and kind words guys Thanks for going to the trouble of taking the photo Becky, it did show how the refection should be. I'm still having trouble with that rear wheel

Thanks for pointing those small details out Glen, you are right about the composition, might make those basket loops taller.

Thanks

Guys
