    green fence plus webs

    I would like your opinions about this pic, I was walking going to take pics from some businesses and I faced this place. I tried to find something to contrast color and I found this little flower and I liked. It's a fence around a rail that grew a lot of bushes and these webs around it. Coincidently the sun was setting so the light shined on them. what do you think?




    thanks

    Andre, better if you post a 800x800 max copy direct into the form, that way you are lot more likely to get feed back, btw I tried to have a look but the link didn't work.

    Isn't it a cool thing in nature that the colours never seem to clash...

    I have no issues with you editing my photos

    I think the sky is the dominant feature in the image and you need to crop it out. I would suggest making a vertical format including the yellow leaves below the flower, the web and placing the flower in the upper left 'thirds' cross point. - Terry

    Re: green fence plus webs

    I agree on the sky crop. This one seems to need more emphasis on the web and small plot of bush, but I am not sure how you can do it given its angle. The right side yellow area looks great but the left side looks very odd, almost like a bad edit But I guess that's the web! The web itself is somewhat out of focus because of the narrow DOF: I therefore find myself looking at the middle, more-focused area.

    Welcome to the boards btw. Glad to see we're getting attention down in Brazil

    thank you for the replies

    before cropping, take a look in this other pic, the DOF is not shallow

    what do you think?

    I like the crop, but I still think a tighter crop would benefit this! maybe bring out the color on the flower more as well

    This crop would be where in this case?

    If i cut the sky I think that would lose something, because this blue is not covering a large area and its ok, dont you think?

    About the flower in fact the whole picture i increased the color, this is not so PURPLE because this flower in fact was a bit white/gray in some parts and so on, just because of the web on it i dont know lol covering it
