Ginko twigs with berries against autumn sky

I had mixed feelings about this one. I'm sure you all know the feeling

of having previsulaized an image and have the final outcome somewhat

different from what you initially intended. In those cases where the

previsualized image is pretty close to the final outcome one does feel

a sense of accomplishment. This was one of those cases for me. It was

a simple composition with few elements - the shape of the branches and

the contrast between the dried orange seeds and the clear blue sky. I

was happy with the image but also at the same time feel there is not

enough in there to hold ones attention. Would welcome your thoughts.

I aggree with your comments above. I too feel that there is too much empty space in the image. What I would have tried was to get closer to the orange/red objects on the branch to balance the overall image.

This photo,to me, expresses beauty through simplicity and understatement. I like the colors and the way the space is used. If this was your intent when this shot was visualized, you did a great job!

I like it. I like the space, and of course the splash of red! Don't be afraid of "open" space in a photo. There's no such thing as empty.. just not busy! The photo is unusual, and striking. thanks for sharing!

The color and space work well here, as does the composition. Simple subjects like this are often hard to frame. However, I wouldn't mind if you'd lose the matting effect and load a slightly bigger image.

Any time one can previsualize an image and then succeed in having it reflected in the actual result, it's a good thing!!! I like negative space in an image, and I think you use it well in the composition. You've pinpointed what the one critique is that I would also make... the need for a little bolder center of interest. The orange berries certainly try to do that but larger or more of them would enhance the overall impact, I think.

Hi Deepak...I think that the photograph captures the grace that nature intended together with a

simple presentation. Personally, I would have liked added features that are unmistakeably Ginko.
