Ahhhhh a very familiar scene to me. The picture tells a story and that is good, but the composition doesn't have any real punch. Perhaps a different angle.
DOF is very good.

Greetings from the Critique Club :)

Heather, this is an excellent photo. Like I said in my original comment, I could see this on a game box or on a CD cover for sure :) I think the composition of the swords on the artwork background is excellent. Unfortunately, I can't really make any suggestions for improvement on this photo since I really like it the way it is. I read through your comments and I don't really understand where most of them are coming from. I couldn't think of a better way to light the swords or change anything about the composition. I suppose the 'artwork' factor may be at play, but it's an integral part of this image for sure...

Keep up the good work :)

John Setzler

Creative eye, wonderful find. Not crazy for the focus........no tripod. Good colors, good crop.

challenge met. nice find for the challenge. i like the placement of the tree in the overall frame, and the woodchips on the ground. the thing i like the least is the bland sky. i know you can't control that, but i wonder what this photo would look like cropped into a square (taking the sky off and maybe just a tad off the bottom, too). format.

Nice shot, I wouldn't stand TOO close to that tree! The shot seems just a bit washed out and maybe a touch soft on focus. DPz

This is a great shot but the reflections on the sword hilts could have been avoided by changing the angle of the lights.

This piece of art is constituing too much of the composition of this photograph, at least IMO - Inspzil

It's not "my thing", but I like the placement of the knives so as not to block important parts of the art.
