I love the winter for giving us these red berries. I look back at what I did last year with these shots and realise that I've come quite some way with processing, with creating the sorts of images I'm seeking.
Is this from last year? Colorful berries indeed but nothing's in sharp focus and the blown out background is troubling.
I'm only on my 2nd cup so maybe I'm missing something.
Hmmmm, I want to like it but am not feeling this one. I like an impressionalistic shot but I think this has some room for more dynamics. Maybe it is the heavy yellow cast that is hurting it as well as the bleached BG areas.
I see it with a richer green and a very definitive 'red' of the accenting berries You can 'play' that DOF more if you brought forward one cluster of berries and worked them more into the frame, lots of blank space on this one and a bit harsh on the light IMO
Paper thin DOF at f1.4 and shooting with 2pm's brutal backlight had me wondering.
