great choice of subject. there is a great deal of interest in a natural object like the bark of a tree. but with regard to execution:
- the narrow DOF makes a large part of the image 'dead space' without any apparent benefit for the area that is in focus.
- the angle and tilt of the photo are kind of disconcerting to me. i find myself wishing that the orientation were more vertical or horizontal.
- the drop shadow border does not aid the presentation. |
