Greetings from the Critique Club.

I have read through some of the comments you received during voting and will not touch on the date in the corner of the photograph, that would be like beating a dead horse. I bet you have learned not to do that again :-)

The color here is the most interesting part of the phgotograph. I love the deeply saturated tones of blue. The main interest seems to be where the pedals meet in the center of the photograph. One of the easiest rules to learn and implement into your photography is the rule of thirds. It states that haveing the center of interest placed off center is much more powerful. I think that might have been useful in this photo.

I notoce that several commenters have commented on the DOF. You can use a shallow DOF id you use it to your advantage. The part that is in focus needs to be the center of attention, and I notice here that the further away pedals are more in focus. You can increase DOF by using an aperature with the larger number. I recomment at least f11, maybe even f16.

I hope you continue to explore the world with your phortography. Good luck on future challenges. If I can be of further assistance, feel free to PM me.

Pretty flower, but too blurry for my taste. I think your DOF is not clear.

I would look at setting the camera not to show the date in the output image
If that is not posible, then use the clone tool to edit the date away

Get rid of the date stamp. It's very distracting. I don't know why anyone would turn that feature on in the camera, or why it's even a feature to begin with.

the date in the corner is distracting

The date stamp is really hurting you here :(

You should turn off the date stamp on your camera. :) I'm sure you will have plenty of comments already like this. The image is OK but it doesn't really have a strong subject or anything of interest that is in focus.

Seems a bit out of focus...

Lose the date stamp, and needs more dof

Yikes....It's always good to turn off the date stamp.

imprinting the date is a sure fire way of losing many votes - shame, as it is an interesting (if slightly soft) image.
05/09/2005 09:21:47 AM
You'll probably get a lot of comments about this, but you should change the settings in your camera so it doesn't leave the date on your photos. Nice idea, but focus is a bit soft.

This is not very sharp and I don't like the date on the image.Sorry, but this is my opinion.
05/09/2005 05:30:29 AM
You must be getting a lot of comments because of the date! I'm giving you 10, because I did the same thing on my first entry! Don't worry it gets better.
05/09/2005 02:08:44 AM
This is very amature. You should not have date on it. The shot is not in focus and I do not feel this is on topic.

turn the date stamp off if you can.
