Daily Odds and Ends

I like what you were attempting to catch, Thusie. The scalloped lines of the fence sloping along with the sloping grassy hill. Pretty scene. I think cropping out some of the top and making it more of a horizontal might be an improvement. Or....a squirrel???

I like your crop Vandana, I need visuals:-) Once it quits raining I think I'll try for a re-shoot. The 400 as a snap shot lens isn't a real hot idea. So yes you make perfect sense and thanks.

I agree with Chandi somewhat that there is no one subject to concentrate on here, too many elements of interest - the foreground grass,fence, flowers, the tree behind; but I'm still not sure how to crop it best - I did a tighter one here but maybe if you try reshooting - I'd try focusing on the flowers, use a relatively low DOF, standing on one side of the fence, and have sort of a OOF fence leading the eye to or from the flowers. that way we could concentrate on the flowers and fence.
did I make any sense ;)??!

I love the flowers, Thusie! I think it is a fine photo......perhaps not a wall hanger, but a nice photo of something in your life! ginger

But now if you go back, you can have two different views. :)

Chandi, as you probably know this is rather outside what I usually shoot and I'm not real hot at cropping. Would you be so kind as to show me what your idea is? Please?

This appears to be a very neat pic Thusie - but my eyes were searching for something to hold onto amidst all the nice things. Maybe a tighter crop on the fence? Or maybe a more angled fence line? The lighting is perfect though!
