Constructive Criticism

I feel like I'd like this better in person, but photographed it's boring. If it's supposed to be arranged in a family portrait setting, I'd ditch the chair or get a comfier looking one. The current one looks out of place. Or install something junk to go with the portraits on the end table, like a candle or something. If you're feeling cheeky, some bird-related shit (a spilled bag of feed, bird toys, whatever).

Otherwise, from far away, the birds look nice, but there's not a lot of contrast in a lot of them from far away (and maybe even close up). The colors look kind of muddy too.

It's a charming idea overall, but kind of boring. Sure people who see it in person would be endeared though (the longer I look the more charmed I am honestly).

I really appreciate the feedback. Anyone else? The paintings are not quite as bright in person as this image but a little brighter than the image. But because they are on paper I put them under glass which creates this sort of barrier and dulls the image due to the glare (even with non-glare glass) the best thing I've tried for the glare is plexiglass, but that gets rather expensive (i dunno, maybe I'll do it because the dullness bothers me too)

If the photo actually matters you should use a telephoto lens from across the room, there's this image is pretty distorted

Why arrange and present them like family portraits? What do you feel this adds to your concept with this piece?

thats what I was hoping would come through in the piece (thanks for the lens recommendation) some of the bird portraits are blotted out, which might be hard to see in the image, here is what one looks like

Here are what some later iterations are looking like of that concept
