tomatillos

Been playing around with my new lens---with it too cold and snowy to go outside, I have resorted to photographing food:

c+c appreciated!

any one?

The first picture, I would have chosen a different focal point since the one you have isn't really complimenting your composition.

But really, what sort of critique are you looking for?

I feel for you - brand new lens and nowhere to go with it.

In working with short DOF I find it's important to make a decision on the portion of the image you want in sharp focus.

Tomatoes are better with frontal shots instead of their back and zoomed in more so that no bowl edge could be seen (or spread more tomatoes out if you don't want to zoom in). With the second image, I'd have liked the frontal shot of the tomato, as well. If the title is of any importance, "Salsa Deconstructed" doesn't really work for me, as I don't see anything being deconstructed?
