I wanted to enter this image in the depth of field contest but could not figure out how to enter the contest. This image may not be good enough to enter it anyway. It is festive though. :) Found out how to enter the contest. I hope you all like it! connodado

Use your imagination when photographing, that's when you know your subject is in focus.

Hey Scott,

Your image here provided the visual cue and prompt to drop by and leave some words. As I did catch your other recent upload, namely that of "Standing on the doc of the lake" as well. (Nice shot, by the way.)

Now then ... your image here.


Great capture of the colours within frame. Particularly and notably, the red in the foreground and in focus.

Caveats?

Lose that upper left area of brightness, being bold here.

The other colours and textures work well, it is the inclusion of that small portion that is a bit distracting. Minor at best, as the luminance of it stills fits in with the rest of your photo.


That said ... good good to see you once again. I trust that my words here find all is well with you and yours.

And last, but not least ... best of luck to you in the contest. :o)

What a nice and happy posting!! To me those are what I call 'Santana colours'....and they are awesome. I like your idea of this photo. And, of course,you ought to enter the contest! It's always worth a try to have a bit of a challenge. Verena
