well done

and endangering them.

I agree with Mossy B. I would crop off the left so the power lines do not show and I would also crop just a bit off the bottom so that only part of the bottom petals are showing. Just take it into any photo program to crop it. I would also try to bring the saturation up a little bit and possibly curves also. Afterward, go to "My Stuff" "Contest Entries" and find this entry and click on "edit entry" and browse for the new cropped image. Then scroll down to the bottom and make sure you check the box for high resolution and then click submit.

This would have been a stronger composition with the left side cropped off, and perhaps with someone standing near the rail on the right hand side near the lion, to better accent the size comparison.

I kind of like the shadows... but why have water droplets on it?

well done, I thought of that too, but didn't get around to it.

well done

It looks delicious! Nice, clear photo! Good job!

Great focal depth and composition!

Very nice composition. I like how the water looks like a solid surface.

Nice photo. I love when those almost invisible "hairs" have dew on them and become visible...

LOL! I knew I had a 50/50 chance of getting it wrong, but didn't want to play into the stereotype of "women drivers..." LOLOL!

Looks like he's heading for a head on collision...lol! Good pic.

Do you know I tried the same method in home but didn't get it.. I was actually aiming to photograph the water ripples..

I'll bet those last two containers taunted you to add them to the stack. Good job. Lots of good member advice. I still listen every week.

black fabric like a sheet or blanket or tablecloth works also.

I would say the essence of the shot. Removing what is not needed like the top part of your image. Rule of thirds is another good one.

There is lots of advice on the net and others here that are willing to share their knowledge
I will say just a crop can take a mediocre image to a pro shot in 1 simple cut.
and a higher % on your entry

Very good, I learned alot about cropping among many other photography tricks of the trade here thanks to some very helpful members on this site.
Good luck and keep on shooting

The top tins now pop because the highlights in them are not competing with the sky now. The white stars in the fabric also.

Soooooo much better

i agree will make it much better Author.

you know that you can crop this particular photo right? I would at least crop out the top where the sky is showing.

better

I would crop the pipes at the top out and the window/shelf? from the right.

I would crop this so that only the purple sheet and tin cans are showing

I think this would have looked awesome on a solid black background

This is so messed up that it doesn't even look real... LOL.. Super Great Capture!!!

nice pic. bright colors and the shade is nice, looks like sun drops.. good job.

Looks better... good luck

nice.

beautiful.

Just a little dark, but a really cool shot

The foreground is a little too dark to see the lady - I didn't know she was there until you pointed it out

Loving the picture but I'd crop out that little black spot in the upper right corner. All the best!

Great shot! Would crop some of the dark foreground off and reduce noise..

I believe that if you where waiting just a litle bit more ( to include the Boys foot) this would be even better.
