Nice. It seems to lean, however and that sort of distracts from its other lines.

I want to thank everyone for commenting. I was taking some shots of pine tree bark when I saw the cones. I tried for a while to get a good shot but I kept having depth of field issues. Since I wasn't sure how to correct this, I thought maybe I could mask it a bit with the negative shot. I was also pleased with the colors that were produced. I thought this might add a bit of artistic flair, but in hindsight, I see that this was really a cheap trick to hide my lack of technical skill. This was my first submission online....not only to DPC, but anywhere for critique. It was a pleasure, and I have learned a few things in the process. Mostly, that the critics don't like color inversion... :)~ ...but alot of people like the final colors. Thanks again, and keep your camera close.

This could be a great photo but the depth of field is too shallow rendering a photo that isn't as sharp as it could be.

Neat reverse color effects! Everything has texture, even pine tress (or cones), but in jumbling the colors, I feel the texture is harder to relate to (way square on my part). Cropping parts of your subject (two cones got tipped!) is not good. I am going to stay with my 7 score, as I like the idea so much! Swash

i'm trying to figure out why you inverted the colors. i went and 'uninverted' them to look at your original picture and i liked those colors better. but then - that's just my personal taste. i did think you could see the texture there a little better. -- gr8photos (4)
