2 pictures for C&C

[NJKILLSYOU]

im quite happy with the first one, although the highlight on top of the sand dollar does seem to be a bit distracting.

the second picture i love. the only thing is the crop, the subject is quite centered, but i still like the composition. if anyone would like to suggest a better crop im open to that as well.

thanks for taking the time.

I think you did a great job considering the lighting you were working with. DOF is managed well in both of these shots. Like you mentioned, the only thing that needs tweaked a bit is the fact that the subject is centered in the image. There are some blown highlights, but they aren't all that distracting.

Hope this helps,

Steve M.

haha i know, i like the composition of the first one and decided not to crop it at all, the second one im not sure where to crop.

i could try to remove some of the highlights on the bark with a crop but id lose some of the lizard. but i dont find them that distracting. im just not sure how to crop it and get him out of center without losing some of what i like about the photo, and not having it look like a pano.

im not really sure if i mind the lizard centered or not for that matter. :lmao:

thanks.
