Hi, first of all I'd like to say that I like this photo a lot. The textures show up well, and the DoF looks good. If anything, I would have made it even shallower, so that only the main nut was in focus, not the foreground, because there isnt much interest in the forground. I also think a slightly different crop or composition would have improved it too. Moving the bolt more to the left would have cut out some of the plain foreground, and put it on a third line too.
Post-processing wise, I think a couple of things could have been done. Firstly, I think a subtle 0.4 radius 120 strength USM would bring out some more texture. I also think a small adjustment using brightness/contrast, maybe -10/+10, would have added a more dynamic feel to the photo, adding more contrast.
I hope this CC helps, if you want to discuss anything feel free to contact me. |
