Challenge:Framing II (Basic Editing III) Camera:Sony DSC-R1 Location: top of a hill at st. monance castle ruin in fife. Date: Jun 11, 2006 Aperture: F/4 Shutter: 1/640sec Date Uploaded: Jun 12, 2006
Great location for a picture! Agreeing with the others, I would have moved to the right a little to get more of the water and the ends of the lines of rocks. Focusing on the distant water and the rocks and leaving the frame of the hole in the cliff out of focus and without the flowers (too much in the picture) would have made this better.
To add another suggestion, try playing around with your aperture to see what the results are. I shoot 80% of my images in aperture priority mode so that I can control my depth of field. It might have been possible to get the foreground AND the background in focus by changing the aperture to something like f/13 or even f/22. This would have the effect of slowing your shutter speed however, which would require the use of a tripod to keep the image sharp.
I might have prefered having the background in focus and moving the camera to the right so we see the focal point that the lines of rocks are pointing to in shot, or nearer to being in shot - but still a great picture.
