Number two is a bit confusing. I'm not sure what i'm looking at, although it appears to be a pine cone with spider webs. The background elements seem to be important but are out of focus. ======== Hmmm, I took much fewer frames of the pinecones -- threw them on at the end -- they were less planned -- they were just there. But I was playing with depth of field, etc., too. I guess it's obvious to me that those are pinecones in the background. Could be lighter -- the lighting on the porch wasn't the best for dark subjects in the shade. Comments taken under advisement. :-) I spent much less time on them, but I know I'll be revisiting pinecones someday -- hopefully in the real out of doors. Maybe the lesson is -- spend more time... Hehehe. Thanks for looking and your input.
