Images I Don't Like

The posing of the model and the skinniness of the model are not ethical, as she looks like she is starving. What are we selling in this shot? Clothing or unhealthy, skinny bodies, which are the only ones that could fit into these outfits. I think someone should buy her a burger!

These images are shot in the middle of the day. The sky is blown out and the outside siting area is under the hot sun and so it is not inviting at all.

This image makes it look like the photographer was in a hurry. It is shot in the middle of the day and it therefore makes it hard to make out that the place has a pool at the front of the house. Hard light on the front of the house does not make it look inviting at all - I hope they can sell it. This photo has done no justice to the house.

There are a few things in the photograph that are very distracting. The first is the big window in the back and the lack of light on the actual food. I would have thought having a beautiful big light source like this window, that you would use it to improve the photo and not detract from the photograph. The form of the wine glass is missing and this is the second thing that I look at after the window. Where did the top of the glass go?

What is this and why are there so many dark spots on the chrome object? I really cannot understand what it is that has been photographed. There are no lines to indicate at all what this is. The photo is too dark. The use of lighting could have been done much better to bring out the object.
