the small DOF for this shot doesnt work very well with the leaves in the foreground, it's a bit distracting.

Great textures and contrast. About the only suggestion I have to offer is that maybe a composition a less centered composition, one with the lower mostly out of focus leaf further in the lower right corner, would be something to try.

You can feel the texture just looking at the photo. This is a very nice use of dark and light.

nice contrast but didn't catch my eye

nice picture.

more light and more depth of field : )

needs more depth of field. Highlights blown out.

good idea but i think this shot could have been better with a greater use os DOF as the out of focus areas are distracting from the shoot

DOF is a bit too limited to make this work - central leaf is distracting.
06/04/2002 04:25:00 PM
Not sure about the DoF. One out of focus leaf would have been OK, but I think four might be pushing it. Good job otherwise, though.

Pushing the black point and what looks like a lot of sharpening makes it look like a carving/sculpture...

Trying to figure out which part of this image should be in focus was probably a beast, so you'll certainly hate me when I say that I don't like the big, dominant leaf in the top middle so out of focus. Your use of contrast for texture is great.

Good textures, sharpness (in the middle ground) and tones, but too many oof elements in the fg makes it hard for me to look at. The leaves at top, bottom, L & R seem to emerge from the frame in a way that makes me want to blink to avoid being poked in the eye. This effect can be useful, but I don't think it works here.

Some great detail and shapes to look at here, but the depth of field is distracting. It doesn't really seem to add depth, it just creates a strange distortion.

Nice b&w.

You chose a place for the focus, but there is nothing there. This would have been better if it were full in focus.
06/03/2002 10:11:00 AM
good contrast, very abstract in a way.
06/03/2002 06:52:00 AM
This is a nice view, but a difficult one to get the good depth of field on... on a shot like this, I think it is easier to back away from the subject and use the zoom at it's highest potential to really get the best depth of field....
