I like the subtle light and the composition.

Just one remark f/29 is very high, and it means that you loose a lot of detail.

Well Done,

Ben

Thanks Ben,

Not really, a lower f # would only focus on a smaller area. I find the f-stop that brings into focus the widest area I want. Sharpening done pp restores any original softness. I find the idea that lower f-stops increase sharpness is, in practice, un true, even though it might be measured in a lab. It does limit the dof, so a smaller part of a non flat image is in focus. A subject with no depth (perfectly flat) can be imaged with a wide open lens - anything with depth, and if you want to portray that depth, requires higher f-stop ( or stacking)..

Cheers,

G

thanks-view large please

same as 2, but different light source.
