Nature Red berries in rain

arunava82 · 01-23-2012, 05:11 PM

Hello, took these pics after the rain. Any suggestions on composition/crop or anything else pls ...
I like the first one because the entire background is green, unlike the other two with the white wall on the right ...

I too prefer the 1st one. It also seems a bit sharper to me.

Maybe,(going off pic No1.) try zooming your lens in closer to the front berries or trying a different position,where there isn't too many branches in the foreground distracting the main focus point,or even still,if your got a macro lens or extension tubes for your 50mm lens, getting in really close to the berries,with the water droplets running off them could be an effective shot as well.

I like the 2nd because of the well defined focus point in the center of the picture with 1 & 3 the focus point is just not that clear to me.

cheers

Thanks ppl for the comments. In the 1st and 3rd pic, i tried to focus on the three berries in a line with water drops on them. Didnt center them so it looks like the pic is not in focus. I cropped the 1st one to bring them to center. I used ms office picture manager for cropping. I also clicked the auto correct button in the tool. It seems like it increased the color in the pic. I like the increased color, but does it look bad?
