This is my first submission and I hope to get a lot of critiques. This is the 53rd image I've taken with my new camera so I'm very much a newb, but wanted to participate so here goes.

I took my camera along today for my daily lunch walk and snapped this picture of some rope used to tie off boats at dock. In the background is the Rock Hall of Fame and the Cleveland skyline.

In Photoshop I cropped the image and used auto-levels, auto-color, sharpen, and color balance.

Critique Club Review:

You did a very good job of lighting the rope. Great contrast,depth of field, and detail. You can almost feel every fibre. You did use depth of field to isolate the rope. However, the background is still busy and distracting. The spires of the high rise buildings, are almost like arrows pointing your eyes to the top of the page. I really like the rope in the picture, the more I look at it, the more it almost seems 3-D, nearly jumping off the page. It's the background that did you in. It needs to compliment the rope, not compete.

it's a daring attempt. Can't put my finger to it but the rope seemed a little disturbing. a 5 for me
