I would like to get your opinions on DOF, if should I change it a bit? Sometime I really don't know if I should show the background more, or what. And sometime I feel like I add too much contrast on my pictures. Do you guys think any of these are over contrast? I just started photography about 3 months ago. Thanks in advance.:cool:http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3657/3351466299_5fb00fab93_b.jpghttp://farm4.static.flickr.com/3389/3489649747_038df7f60c_b.jpghttp://farm4.static.flickr.com/3436/3228557274_cc6076fb06_b.jpghttp://www.flickr.com/photos/34038143@N03/3352131807/sizes/l/http://http://www.flickr.com/photos/34038143@N03/3352131807/sizes/l/

I would open up the DOF on the first 2 a couple stops just to give more interest to the subject (show a little more of the pencil body and feather). Numbers 3 and 5 looks good to me and number 4 i like but some may say to open the DOF up just a touch get at least one of the flowers in complete focus. And I dont think you over did it at all with the contrast.

I think you have a great eye.

I agree with mx racer.. I like the contrast in all of them.. I think the apple picture is GREAT!

I like the apple one.

How was the apple one taken?

What is the background? What lens? What lights? What exposure?

thanks guys. the apple one was taken with a macro lens 100mm. I used a plastic blue bag for the background lol ( i know kind of random ). I just wanted to use something that will compliment the green apple. I forget what exposure i took with it but it was fast... like 1/6xx..
