Challenge:Bokeh V (Basic Editing) Camera:Panasonic DMC-FZ18 Location: Cape May Date: Dec 15, 2008 Aperture: 3.6 ISO: 200 Shutter: 1/800 Date Uploaded: Dec 15, 2008
Your bokeh is lovely. But, unless taking a portrait, it is rarely a good idea to center your subject. Seating this one on the left would have been a better choice. I don't care for the bright red frame, black or gray would have been a better choice here, IMO. If you had cropped it closer to the left hand side, it would have given the viewer a chance to be led to the ornament by the branch on the right. The snow on the ornament is a bit blown out. Your lighting would have been much more interesting had you taken the brightness down a bit or sped up your shutter when photographing the ornament. This has a lot of potential and shows creativity, which is good. Very nicely focused as well. Good luck! :)
That looks like artificial snow. I'd like this better if the ornament weren't so centered. It's nice and clear with good light. I don't like the border, sorry.
I do like this shot but - and I don't normally have a problem with this - the frame is really distracting and unnecessary. The beauty of this shot IMO lies in the subdued grey/brown tones of the background offset by the flash of red in the foreground. The Frame really kills the subtlety I think. Cool shot though.
