POTM [11/07] Walnuts

hi, im new to this forum, but i played with my new camera, and some little PS tweak.

cam Fujifilm FinePix S5800; f/6.8; 1/45s; iso 200; 6mm focal length

 

almost 50 views and no reply? i wanted your THOUGHTS, written in a reply, not only in head

 

I like it, I also like the fact, more and more are getting into the POTM we've got going - so welcome
I think you could improve this a bit more if it was less busy - might work better using a different (perhaps - lower) angle.

 

problem is, i dont have the subject at hand... ehm... when my gf saw that i had perhaps 10sec for finding the cam and taking the pics before she threw it away to trash rofl
i only taken 3 shots.

btw, im really new to photo stuff, what exactly do you mean by "less busy"?

 

Busy - just means there loads going in, your eyes don't know what to look at/for. No actual obvious subject.
Yeah?

 

now i understand thanx for explanation.
tommorow i'll try another crop maybe. its late here

 

is this better?

 

Much better, you know what your looking for now
Good job!

 

That pupae I see there? Guess they really were decaying! Nice.

 

It looks better cropped, but I don't like the border.

 

this is the same pic but w/o the border

im not sure, imho the border looks better

and yes, there were some pupae there.
its a pity i didn't had enough time to take more pics of them...

 

just made this a POTM entry

 

I really like this shot

Edit: Oh and the reason: Great colours, contrast and composition.

 

I prefer it without the border - but that's just me; I tend to dislike most borders.
