16 people and none of you have an opinion? :confused:

I'm view no. 28 apparently....

Very bold - nice sharp ear of "whatever it is" in the foreground, I like the use of DOF, blurring out the background to enhance the foreground. Only thing I might say is maybe a tighter crop on the in-focus ear in the foreground? Chop off the left 1/3 of the piccy?

Whey! Thanks for the comments!!

I see your point about the 'focus' of the photo being to the right, i was always told to offset the focus to 'let the eye wonder' round the photo so to speak. I'll have a go at cropping it now and see what i think!

thansk for your comments

Looks good.

mrk · 19 Jul 2006 at 21:05

The colours are natural like and nice, very vivid, I'd expect to see that off a dslr! in fact I thought they were drslr shots until I read your info!

morgan · 19 Jul 2006 at 21:11

nice shot. very summery (is that a word?!!)

as mrk says great quality for a non dslr

Felix · 19 Jul 2006 at 21:36

Really like the picture, for me that sums up summer days.

Not quite ripe yet though :rolleyes:

Richard T · 19 Jul 2006 at 22:07

nice ... I like them both

Greg · 19 Jul 2006 at 23:32

Guys, thanks for the kind comments.

I'm supprised by the little casio too, its a really good piece of kit!!

It has been edited in PS, but i cant rememebr for the life of me what i did!!!

I'm trying to do the same to the others

iam · 20 Jul 2006 at 03:00

1280x768?

Very nice shot

Gungnir · 20 Jul 2006 at 07:04

Classic summer shot, very nice

It's wheat BTW

themask70 · 21 Jul 2006 at 16:53

Great shot, i tihnk that the un-cropped verison looks better to be honest

And fyi: I think that it's corn

Felix · 21 Jul 2006 at 16:54

That's definately wheat.

And wheat is corn.

Would the top photo would have looked better with a bit more sky?

Perhaphs if it were flipped horizontially?

I'm not a lover of square (I know it's not quite so) photos so I didn't go much on the cropping for the 2nd one.

They are both nice and clear with vibrant colours and might look nice on a breakast cereal packet!
