Some seriously good critique already and I'm really happy I posted this one
. Are you sure you're not all professional photographers???
Shifting the frame a touch down would have been so great.
While the background here is 100% organic and natural and reflected the greyness of everything at this time of year, selecting a different one would have helped tremendously. In our own garden this is something we often can do. It doesn't have to be paper backgrounds(I have never used them, only thought about using them), but instead of shooting the subject where it stands, we have the choice to cut it (or move it, if in a pot) and stage it somewhere else. Actually we could even dig it up and replant it where it would be easier to photograph
. If I could have gotten a pink sunset as a backdrop, this would visually have been a much more efficient and strong image.
Also getting that tip in focus would certainly have enhanced the looks.
Awesome, guys
