Grr posted in wrong place, too many topics :P
My favourite time of year Spring with all the new growth. Critique welcome. No PS apart from a resize, convert to jpeg and very slight USM on a couple of them
My own critique is:
1. Not too bad, although it might have been improved with slightly more DOF. The leaf in the top right also annoys me but that should be a fairly simple clone out. Composition is okay but not particularly special
2. I like the contrast here and the composition is fine, to my eye anyway. DOF is way too shallow and there's an annoying reflection from a spiders web top left.
3. This one's not too bad although it looks like there's possibly been too much USM. It was only about 60% at 1.3p so I'll probably run it through again.
4. My least favourite, a bit dull, the tops chopped off, although going lower brought some tree branches into the shot which I didn't want. Composition is only adequate
5. I like abstracts However there's nothing really catching the eye, nothing to concentrate on. Also the texture of the leaves looks a bit like noise. Best bit about it is the light and shadow.
