#1: Love the effect the sun has through those trees, but the shopping cart with garbage in it ruins it.
#2: Really like this one. Nice shot!
#3: I just don't get it. What kind of sculpture is that?

#1 was trying to be philosophical ... such as the sun shining on a cart of garbage

#3 this was Austin's "Eeyore's birthday party" - this is one of the mascots of the party ... Lady liberty with the face of a Hippo.

Focus issues in all of them.Your sun is not helping any of these, sorry.

Flo, can you be more specific? The cart is focused on on top, the foreground leaves in #2 and the statue in #3. Are they too soft, they looked fine in 1:1 (maybe my PP messed up the edges).

Or are you saying I should be focusing on something else, change the DOF etc? Please elaborate. This is the first time in a long time I actually have control over my pictures with a good setup.

thanks
