Re: Icy Seed Head

I like that Moon - the ice is quite subtle, so gives it that something different feel.

Maybe I'd have tried to get the stems at the top in focus as well and just gone for a blurred background? Not sure but I think it would have been cool too

Yeah, I wanted the foreground really sharp and the back to get a nice Bokeh effect, but I think I may have got the foreground too sharp, so middle looks a bit lost

Just normal sharpening and resizing to post here, nothing major. I added a vignette to bring the eye towards the seed heads as the background is very similiar in tones to the stems. But that is it really.


Thanks for the comments x
