Thumb-up Thumb-up    from acampos/Andres (51,987) This user is a Premium Member Send mail to this user on June 23, 2007 8:12:21 PM CDT (3) Early critique

Hello Jose Paulo.
Very attractive red in the wood surface. The diagonal composition together with the DoF emphasize the depth in the picture. The image is rich in textures. I am in surprise that with an f/22 still the background area is blur. But it really doesn't bother me. What results quite confusing to me is that the upper left area of the main piece of wood blend (visually) with the background. Perhaps changing the tonality (darkened) of that triangle can make a difference.
Regards - Andres.

Hi José Paulo. Very well seen and executed. The diagonal lines are effective and colors are well rendered. I can't quite decide though if your selected DOF is right for this abstract?? I'm thinking that it might be more effective if the top traingle was in sharp focus too. Good one. Steve
