Is this the glass version of "For the birds"? :)

these are pretty cool subjects, and it like the setup. the focus seems a little soft (look at their eyes) but clearly you have a nice result here.

Cute subjects.! I think I'd like to see the other crystal figurines in the picture removed (even though the shallow DOF takes away the focus) by cutting out the bottom and leaving more negative space on top. Good luck Jacko.

I'd have put the birds in focus instead of the branch. I think the subjects are ok, but generally I'm not fond of photos that feature figurines. If you could've pulled this off in focus, I think you might've been able to get away with it.

It's a little bit blurry, but still really interesting.

I think that a smaller aperature would help this to get everything in focus. As it is, the viewers eyes are drawn to the birds eyes, and you strain a bit due to the blur. But it's a lovely piece of glass that picks up light very nicely, and composed well.

image is a little bit blurry. when making close-up pictures you should be using higher F-Stop numbers above 5.6 (smaller aperture) to get better depth of field and by that sharper image.

Nice subject, pity your DOF is so shallow, would have been nicer to have seen the whole lot in focus, so could get the reflection coming back at you, and would have put the middle two birds in focus. Would have been better to have kept the two in the middle in focus rather than the outside ones, as I believe it woul keep your focus better.

nice idea..... it just needs to be a little sharper.... increase your depth of field, that should help solve this problem.... good luck, Todd.

i like this, tough job for an autofocus if that's what you used

distracting reflections...I think a shorter lens (and consequent clarity in the reflection) might help. that or a non-reflective backdrop. just my opinion...doesn't make it right :)
