The depth of field is just a bit short here. The sharpness of the front of the basket wants to hold the eye there. By the time you get to the back two eggs, things are already getting soft. It also looks like the sharpening tool may have been a bit overused. I would suggest a bit higher vantage point for the camera. The front egg is pretty well hidden, and to see more of the design would be nice. Also a higher vantage point looking a little more downwards would help with the previously mentioned depth of field. The lighting could use some angle to it. As is, the lighting is pretty uniform and flat. More of an angle with a little shadow, would help define the shape of the eggs, and make them pop. Overall exposure, and color rendition is good. I think you have a great idea here, and it could make a really interesting poster.

If you canoe a bit upstream you come to my house, I just this minute recalibrated my monitor, this is the first picture I've looked at and it is WAY off - I think I better go check my settings

Picturesque for sure! I like the mood you set in this photo. Great match between the bridge style and the statue in the background. Only 2 things I would change about your shot if it were me. 1) take a few steps to the right so the statue is centered between the end of the bridge and the tree to the left. That would give the photo slightly more balance 2) keep an eye on the image compression, the shot is extremely well thought out, but looses some impact by being pixelated. Keep up the great work!

It's a pretty scene....the foreground is pretty nice, but the background isn't as nice. The harsh glare on the top of the railing is also less than appealing. 4 Swash

Looks a little blurry. I'd like to see more of the bridge in the picture (using about 2/3 of the pic instead of 1/2).

I think that by putting some more emphasis on the bridge would have created a little more intrest to the picture although it is a very good image to use nice work

I like the atmosphere of this shot. Too bad it is out of focus, and a little too much PS adjustements (if I'm not mistaking) Regards, Marco
