Sharing my everyday work (art imaging)

I had problems with the work of artist Yuken Teruya that constructs trees from cuttings done on top of shopping bags.

I want to share the image here for comments.

Very nice object! The idea of a shopping-bag isn´t really clear - maybe a bit more perspective could give more dimenson to the bag.
The light inside the bag is very good!
The artist cuts the paper from the bag, i understand - i would do a second shot with an extreme wideangle and go closer to the trees, so that a more wide/dimensional sight shows the cut-outs above the trees clearer.
The big shadow on the back-/underground irritates me - i would try to do it without ANY back-/underground-shadow, that would give a more artificial feeling. An absolutely clean-white underground without any dimension and the object with deep dimensions by the shadows would have a more "object"-character, emphases it as a "piece" of art. The red colour and the structures and shadows make it very 3D anyway - so the underground-shadow seems obsolete to me. Just my feeling.

Nice work anyway!

best, Klaus
