Please C&C these two nature pics.... thanks!

Your first pic of the chives is way too busy with no real point of interest. The second of them is much better. It is not unlike trying to shoot a bunch of Grape hyacinths which I have never been successful at.

A wider DOF for the Robin shot (higher f#) could well have kept the eye in focus as well as it is only slightly beyond what is sharp.

Love your photos and enthusiasm :thumbup:

I prefer the second photo of the chives and I think the robin pic would look good if you tried cropping the left side of the photo so the bird is further over and looking into the photo rather than in the centre.

Thanks Ron... you are so right.. chives just aren't the most interesting subject unless your looking at all the colors mixed throughout a garden...so unless i am doing a specific pic of something i will forget the chives.. thanks again
