agree with jono, although this cropping makes it follow the rule of thirds perfectly, i think this would work better if a bit more of the right were cropped off, making it taller, and the pinecone bigger, great photography anyways
Very good picture. I like the black border. I think it adds to it. but you should consider not taking picturs like that, your going to get really dirty and your mom is going to be mad at you:P
Just put it in my favorites, and I gave it a 10 on the voting booth. Great shot, clear as a bell, good placement, nice color. Just beautiful. Reminds me of the old saying, "Remember that the mighty oak tree once was just a little nut like you." Altough here it would be a pine tree, and a pine cone. But, you get the idea. Great great great! The black borders are all right, I have to keep putting boarders on mine to get them to fill up the background.
If you'd like, you can take a look at my gallery and give me a few pointers or comments or advice. You did great hear. God bless!
