Garlic

Please let me know what you think about this picture. Thanks in

advance!

Liked the balance between the single, complex, and textured garlic head and the many simple, plain and smooth seeds. It's a very good example of balancing a heavy/complex object with many small ones.

The colours, muted and in armony are well chosen; almost a B&W film, giving preeminence to composition, form and textures.

The light is a bit harsh, and the highlights in the garlic seem overexposed, losing texture detail. I'd try to lower the contrast overall.

The shallow DOF doesn't work for me; the out of focus seeds in the foreground are very distracting, and I feel they don?t serve an useful purpose (maybe giving an illusion of continuity; an endless road of seeds?) I'd very much prefer having foreground/center in focus in this shot.
