Going outside

[danicat2000]

I am for the most part a photographer of still life but my observation of this forum has been that most photos posted are decidedly not of still lifes and are in fact, mostly stuff outside in the real world.

I have taken my camera outside but I will admit that the great outdoors is an area in which I need more practice.

Okay, I'm not a professional or anything, but a full fledged beginner. But I will say this, it is a terrific shot! However, I think those flowers (or whatever those little patches of green are) behind the bench are a bit of a distraction. But it's nothing that's burning my eyes out, just something I noticed. I think if your cropped them though, the image would be totally ruined. Other than that, I think you could up the contrast a bit, and you'd have a dazzling image. Good work!

Good shot! Excellent location. Looks like a great place to relax. The trees in the background are just amazing. The bench is well placed in the frame.

Technically I would add a little more contrast and take out some magenta.
