All in all it's your photo. But if I had a chance to re-shot this subject I would either eliminate this yellow raspberry or move it closer to one of strong points. I still think, that in the way it is now it causes too much distraction - it attracts the eye so much that I end up looking just at this one raspberry. > >There are also some dust pieces or something similar on the > >fruits here and there and it also distracts attention from > >fruits. > > Well, I am not sure you can recognize them very well on the small JPG, > but all the "dust pieces" I can see are actually parts of the raspberries ... Well, I figured that out but just didn't express myself clearly I guess. Even though they're parts of the fruits I still think that the image could do without them. Especially the blueish one in the left/lower corner bothers me. It stand out really strong from the dark raspberry. As for the perfect image I would remove it. > >But it is still a very good one. > I still stand for it. I find your image really, really good. It's just that I tend to be much more picky on other's pictures that on my own. I like your picture, and no, I didn't shot anything as good in that subject myself. And I fear it's not only because of equipment shortenings :-( To balance my opinion I'd like to add that I like the way the raspberries are lighted - there is a lot of details in the hoghlights and in the shadows as well. There is a very pleasant DOF in the picture. The way that light reflects from the fruits adds a third dimension to the photo. I would love to see a nice and big print from it which it certainly deserves. Regards Maciej Marchlewski - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
