Robert you make a good argument for when to blur, when not to. |

Tom, Thank you for the comments. I just checked and in my original, the wheel was very close to the bottom. I had to straighten the horizon slightly, hence lost the rest of the wheel. We have a club member that always advises to shoot with a little extra space around the perimeter. I need to remember that!

Thank you for the suggestion Leonid. That is one solution to my blurry background. When I visualized the shot, I was trying for a view of the ranch that the rancher might have had while working in his equipment shed, so I personally prefer including the additional scenery. |

An interesting flower makes for an interesting shot. I like the angle, it looks as if it is truly reaching for the light. Also, the small water droplets near the bottom, add to the subject. |

I like your image very much. My only suggestion would be to remove about 1/3 off the top. I have one of these that I purchased last spring but still have not used, so am especially glad you included this. There is always the problem of where to put it and I think you have gotten some good suggestions. Thank you for re-inspiring me to use mine

Robert, I think I did focus on the wheel. I'm so used to trying close up photography, when I get a big scene I'm not sure where to focus. I'm never quite sure when to blur the background or when to try it all in sharp focus. |

Congratulations on seeing this clever photo opportunity! After reading your explanation, I at first thought I was seeing the table base through the glass top,then realized it is the reflection of the saucer and cup. My only suggestion would be to remove a little from the white as there is a lot of white cloud there that does not add anything.

Judy you did a good job with the red (a difficult color) and with the textured background. Unfortunately, I didn't get overly excited about the image until I started looking at the shadows. Is it only me or do I see a bird head with a large open bill? Then there is the tiny "duck" sitting on top of the bill... I could go on, but for your sanity I won't! |

This was an interesting project and I think you did quite well with it. I have the same suggestions as Robert and Judy: straighten the horizon, remove the yellow in the sky, crop from the bottom to reduce our view of the parking lot area. But even as it is, it makes me stop and try to seek out the various details. |

This is definitely an interesting image. I agree with Judy about cropping on the left, but otherwise I think I prefer the color version. Although I never saw it (and NEVER will!!), the bw version has a more ominous quality and makes me think of Hitchcock and "The Birds". I don't think that was your intent, which is another vote for the color version. Also, I would include the lower, smaller wires. They are part of the story.
