I you have the sharpness, try a tight crop with the with the center of the post in a ROT position. You should be able to get some concentric curves with "V" leading lines. Then reduce highlights. #1501338Dale Hardin December 01, 2012
Thanks for entering at last Rita. :o) Never too late. Like your subject but the DOF is pretty limited. #10445536Teresa H. Hunt December 01, 2012
Great subject for the challenge Rita. :)I agree with the guys on this one. The DOF is limited and I'd like to see Stephens crop :) #10445758

And I like it Rita because it set a simple challenge for me. So, although no-one else will be in the least bit interested I can state that this post came from a tree that was 16 years old.Jeff E Jensen December 01, 2012
Thanks for saving me the hassle of counting, Pete! #10445778lisa anderson December 01, 2012
I like the colours, and the lines. I think Stephen's crop suggestion is a good one :) #10445846Michael Kelly December 01, 2012
Fits the challenge nicely. I do agree that the crop might be good. #10445922Rita K. Connell December 03, 2012

Rita, I think a crop really could save this one. #10450802Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
