Pincushion

Greetings from the Critique Club!

I love the composition of this photo and the colors are great! I think the background is nice, but I think it would make more impact if it was a solid color.

The problem I have here is the DOF. I do love the shallow DOF, but the out of focus strawberry is distracting. My eye is drawn to it first and then the pin heads. The strawberry needs to either be the focal point or it should be moved out of the shot completely to allow the focus to be on the colors of the pins.

The pins are clear and are a nice detail. The pincushion fabric gives a nice texture. Was this cropped from a larger image where the pincushion was more centered? The pins at the top left of the image are the sharper focus. For this composition, I think dropping the focus down and a little to the right would be good.

It's a great subject and I think with just a couple of minor changes, this would be an excellent photo!


take care...
