I don't like the background on this one.

Comment by cbeller:
A rather uninteresting subject. Some things I would have done differently that may have made it more appealing:

Instead of shooting down on top of the pine cone come at it more straight on (slight angle) from one end. Also, being in color, the yellow background is really bright and takes away from your subject. Because of the very shallow DOF, it is hard to tell where your actual point of focus is.

Seems too out of focus to really get a feeling for the texture.

focus is little shallow and I would probably prefer just the image of the one seed pod...looks great against the orange/red backdrop.

This is a little bit tight in the frame. You have the room to move it to make it fit better. You could also come in even closer and that would also be okay. This is not as clear as it could be either, which is what I'd like to see for this kind of photo.

Too much of the interesting stuff is out of focus!

Needs better DOF, I think.

+Excellent use of light and DOF to give this photo a lot appeal. Composition is good.
- DOF is just a tad too shallow.
