On the Ground


Photo by Kristie W.

I took this photo when I was at home. There is a house across the street that no one lives in so I went in the backyard. They have a underground pool that was empty so I went in the pool and took a picture at ground level. I think it could be a little better though.

I think that this shot is interesting but I think it would have been better if there was more contrast in the colors. The colors just kind of blend together right now. I like how the pinecone is in focus and the background isn't, but I think that if you used the rule of thirds the composition of the picture would be better.

I really love this photo. I think the boldness of the pine cone against the blurry background and foreground is great. It makes the subject very obvious. I think it would be better if the foreground wasn't so blurry. it looks somewhat unbalanced because the ground right under the pine cone is not blurry, so it seems to be randomly there. Other than that one thing, I think this is great.

I really like this photo. It had so many different aspects to it that really stand out to me. I really like how the pine cone is in complete focus, as is the strip of concrete it lays on. Other than that, i really like how every thing else is out of focus. The other pieces of pine strw and bark make the pine cone seem complete also. I like how the lighting is very bright, kind of overcast! (fav wather)...I think you did a great job on this photo, especially with the angle that this picture was taken. HH

don't doubt yourself! its really really good. It's clear and you can see the details in the pinecone. Two problems I would say are it doesn't follow the rule of thirds (but its still good) and the blurry spots on the bottom and background look a little "photoshoppy." I don't know if you used photoshop though.

this is a great shot. i love macro shots because of the detail that you can enhance due to the zoomed in view. the only thing i would say is to be careful with the rule of thirds it's a bit centered but still an incredible shot.
