| Excellent composition! It just goes to show that you sometimes only show a portion of an object or image to invoke an idea or image in the viewer's head. This instantly makes me think of Frodo and his quest in the LOTR. The spring of green in the shot adds a dash of vibrant color and also adds a little more interest in the shot. I am a little disappointed that you did not play with the potential symbolism for the overall shot. The viewer notices the ring after the foot and the green sprig. The Ring is lost is the hues of the yellows and browns of the ground cover and is not readily noticed. Tis may be good or bad depending on one's interpretation (the ring is hidden and needs to be found for a counter example). But I do think the ring really needs to be noticed more for it is of vital import for this composition to move from good to great. I mentioned that the spring of green symbolism needed to be played up more. Green and plant life represent growth, a promise for the future and hope. All this symbolism would be much more palpable and powerful if the ring (an object representing evil and destruction) was laying directly under the spring such that that one of the leave's tips appears to be pointing at it. |

| Very cool... Nice composition, representation, and placement of the ring. I'm impressed - not to mention a HUGE fan of LOTR! :-) |
