When life gives you lemons... CC Please

Yes, I know I posted this in the beginners forum but 57 views and no replies :er: ... so here goes.

...paint that s**t gold.

I took this shot a while back but wanted to see what you all think. I like the color and the composition but you know how that goes.

There has been no PP and the pic is straight out of the camera. May clone out the twig in the pile of rocks but what else do you see or would change?

105mm
ISO 200
f5.7
1/80

It's just not that interesting. Also, I don't get the title.

When life give you lemons you show us a picture of selectively colored rocks. Great..... :meh:


Dude the picture seems to have a shallow DOF which sucks here because it's just rocks, there is no real "depth" it just looks weird. Also the selectively colored rock just looks meh. Dude the reason no one replied is because this, if I gave you a picture or a stack of hay close up poorly done what would you say? Nothing.

First off, thank you for replying!!!

I would rather hear it sucks and how much more boring can you make it than nothing at all. There is no PP work done and there is no selective coloring done. The pile of rocks was just as shot, with that one rock out of place.

Yes I can see how a greater depth of field would change the pic and agree that I should have done so.

The title has more to do with standing out and working with what you've got than actual lemons. And to answer the question, I guess at the store. I only have Real Lemon juice here.

Shallow DoF is unnecessary here, composition is useless to critique here because the subject you chose just isn't that interesting. Maybe if you were close up to the orange rock and it had crab on it or something at least.
