Pen and Pencilsby
NeuferlandComment by JC_Homola: Greetings from the critique club.
This is a very creative shot. I like the angle a lot!
Some of the problems have been pointed out during the challenge.
The focus is a bit off. How to correct that, I understand wanting to try this as a macro to capture all that lovely detail in the pencils. But at this angle it makes it very hard to have everything in focus.
This may have been a time to use a shallower DOF and concentrate on one or two pencils and the pen. Because the pen is smaller it would need to be more inline with the pencil(s) you choose to focus on.
Now, having said that, if you choose a different angle of approach, say straight on, your DOF would not be such an issue. I could see, having the pen stick out just a bit further than the pencils, with the DOF on it so that it was the main focal point. Your title is Pen and Pencils, so that would play into it being the centre of attention.
Just my thoughs, I hope they help. Feel free to email me if you have any questions.
