Keeping Nature In Line

Comment by CNovack:
I like the composition of the orderly line of trees lining the pathway; a pathway to the unknown and perhaps some more natural beauty that lies beyond our sight. I'll have you know that you captured the dappled light shining and sparkling on the tree branches above perfectly. One can just watch the play of light in the leaves of trees to kick back and relax. There are two things I think that could have been done to make this capture even more visually appealing. First is that there is a purplish tone to the tree trunks. A color Adjust of the R G B where you subract some of the red would help to bring down those odd purple/red tones. Next is to play with the overall Shadow/Highlight/Midtones in the image. Just a touch more shadow and a bump in the midtones would improve the contrast and detail definition in the composition and the blades of grass would benefit from this too.

There is some very nice detail in the roses and the color! Color capture is perfect with those nice, rich reds popping off the black background. The noise/image grain takes away some details in the texture of the petals. Would have like to see the texture of the floral petals in the top one more. Perhaps bumping up the aperature a tad to get greater DOF and more detail would work but not familiar with the lens. One additional thing that would have made this a much stronger image is the composition of elements. The eye looks for shapes and patterns. I think it would be a more stronger composition if you place the roses in a direct diagonal. The bottom rose dominating the the bottom right corner and the top one dominating the top left corner.

The colours look a bit strange to the left on the ball??
Nice idea though.

I like the idea (marble hitting a surface, correct?). Unfortunately, the lack of focus makes it hard to see what's going on.
