A suggestion ... include your camera's make and model in your accompanying narratives.

Why?

Read on ... if you dare ... muahahaha ... stop. :oP

I really like the unique perspective you presented to us and you composed your photo well.

The make and model stuff?

Well, if your camera does have some manual functionality ... might have been tempted to narrow the DOF a bit more.

See ... Cambridgeincolour.com - Digital Photography Tutorials ... on 'Depth of Field' for a more exhaustive explanation.

As the background is slightly distracting. Slightly, that is. More so, the upper sections. Perhaps a slight shift in camera position might fit the bill as well.

Just curious if blurring it a tad more would give your photo a lift and keep your viewer's eyes focused more on the vines and then that of the lines of the railings.


"... tried to come up with something cool and interesting."

You did. Brought me in for a closer look ... mission accomplished. :o)


Keep shooting ... and happy shooting.

Thanks for sharing this one with us. :o)

this is the best advice I have received on this website. Thank you so much.

Canon 50D. I had very low lighting, so my options were slightly limited, but I could have achieved a different depth of field for sure. I can probably still accomplish this in photoshop.

It was captured with a 28-120mm lens.

Thank you so much for the comments. They are greatly appreciated.

Nice post.

Ryan, I am an amateur so please take my advice with a grain of salt. It is meant only as my observation.

I think I would have composed the picture so that the railing would have been at a greater angle thus giving you a stronger diagonal across your photo. I may have also tried the macro setting on your Canon just to see how the picture would have looked with the background more blurred out. Greater detail in the forefront resting against the blurred background. I loved the widescreen settings and the depth. As always, best wishes to you and I look forward to seeing more of your work.
