one of my first shots. tell me what you think

Welcome to PR. I think your DOF is ok, but the foreground is out of focus. Were you in auto focus or manual?

[Hickeroar]

Your focus on the door handle could be a bit sharper. I suggest taking a shot zoomed in from a little more of a distance for things like this. Right now it's hard to tell what you were TRYING to focus on. The DOF is right in the right area, but it's not fixed on anything. I personally would have focused on the rectangular part of the handle "mechanism."

However, the coloring & lighting is fantastic imho.

thank you for your replies.
i was in af, and the focus point was the black point on the handle, guess having the rectangular part would be better

thanks again

You can use autofocus, just point the focus point(s) at the rectangular part when shooting (or somewhere in specific). It's just hard to tell when you're aiming at there.

I'd really like to see you do the same shot again...
