My brain's having difficulty working this one out. Just as I get it it flips out again. A bit like those 3d picture things :roll:

It's a nice shot with lots of texture. I'm not sure about the shadows though. I know it's supposed to have shadows, but perhaps too many of them ??

They do create some interesting patterns though.

That'll be the beer you had watching the game last night :lol: :lol:

Too many competing textures, lines and image planes. I'm dizzy. Doesn't work for me.

I think just the shadows themselfs on the concrete pad (or a different view to pick up the shadows on the stones below ) would have been better, but showing both the concrete pad with shadows and the fuzzy stones just sort of muddles the picture (too much content)

The subject is the shadows, everything else (pedestal, stones, gravel...) is fluff.

Thanks for the honest criticism. Guess its back to the drawing board on this one.
