Red Maple ~ Green Maple

Comment by clues56:
The composition is very good. It is a little flat, though. A little lighting would have brought this out so much more.

This hurts my eyes. I think the saturation is too high or something. The red seems a bit TOO red. The berries aren't really blue. Most of them seem black or deep purple.
I think that they yellow plate would be effective had we been able to see a bit more of it.
The focus seems a slight bit soft to me, and that is probably due to the closeness or the overly bright reds.
It looks delicious, don't get me wrong. lol
I think that if you backed up a bit, maybe tried some different lighting so the reds wont be SO red, this would be a great comercial shot. I dont think that lowering the saturation would work well. You could try it, but it might make it look dull then.

Nice idea to put the definition in the pic. Guess your not a big Matrix fan. Good pic though..a bit underlighted

Hum, neat idea but I think the fossil in the front is not very attractive in this shot.

I don't mind you having different and wider interpretation. But I found that you push it too hard to make it acceptable. If you wanna do it, do it without a highlightened definition of a photocopied dictionary.

TOO SUBTLE! kidding :) nice interpretation of the challenge. The highlights should eliminate any question about suitability...shouldn't it?

Accurate interpretation of one of the definitions of matrix. I don't really care for the lighting on the fossil. It looks a little washed out, colorless, and flat.
