Neat shot, pretty colors. Might be a little too dark, but good focus.

Nice Macro. I like the depth of field on this one. Great shot, though the rose bud is a bit distracting. Good job. Jacko 8

What a lovely photo! I love the way the background is softly blurred and so deliciously green. Very nice!

Comment by PTLParsons:
The rose is beautiful. It needs to stand out just a little more from the background than it does. You cropped off a little on the top and left space on the bottom. Other than that I like the placement of it in the photo, the extra space on the sides. Good job just needs a little better execution. 7 PTL

Its on its side, if it were righted, the bud would be pointing out of frame.

Comment by dodobird:
I like the fact that this is not a studio shot, good focus on the rose. I think the rose bud behind which is also in focus detracts from the focus of the rose. The rest of the plant is out of focus enough to not draw attention. 7.

Take my comments for what they are worth for I am just a novice with a new camera. Dodo

At last! I've caught a ride!

(1) COMPOSITION (CONTENT) � Everything is very centered � the hitchhiker and the horizon. Your title implies a car has stopped, but the photo does not. Not clear if he is walking or hitchhiking (despite the sign). I�d have liked to see him at far right, with a car stopped in the distance at far left (to fit your title). This would also show more road surface, giving a perspective of depth and distance.
(2) BACKGROUND � good. See comments on composition. Horizon should probably not be so centered, even if you changed composition as suggested.
(3) CAMERA WORK ,TECHNICAL � focus & DOF look good.
(4) DIGITAL PROCESSING ,TECHNICAL � no recommendations. Personally, I don�t worry about the jpeg artifacts as one comment did.
(5) MY OPINION ON THE PHOTO � A good idea,meets challenge, but an average �snapshot� � based entirely on the composition.
