Hi Lelani

Rather hard to find the best photo among all of them, too much the same overall. You should have tried som zooming and different angles? Perhaps a little too much redish in the white balance.

I take it back--I like this one better. One issue for me (and I admit don't know anything about womens clothes and fashion) is the way it separates at the bottom because of that metal clasp or broach. See how the right side (her left) is folded under?

Otherwise, this one is pro all the way, IMHO.

Very nice. Some catchlights in her eyes are all that's missing!

greetings from the critique club!!

Well, by reading your comments you can see that the subject of depth of field has the DPC'ers split on you concept here. I don't find a problem with your choice. In fact I find it compelling. I do find the crop distracting however. I think that the photo needs to end at the end of the fence line. My eyes are being pulled to far right and away your subject, the rusty pipe. saludos, russ

Wish you chould have shot this from the other side so that the rusted pipe was more "unbroken" and the chain link could have still trailed off out of focus. Good idea and good eye, though.

Comment by Bibliophile:
Godd idea, but I think the lower part of the background is distracting. I also thing the focus is too much on the fence and leaves the bar too soft.

Comment by whagerbaumer:
The colors of rust and sky go together well. Crop off the bottom just below the pipe and the right before you run completely out of fence and this is a highly attractive and powerful foto. As it stands, the uninteresting overpowers the interesting. A 4.

This careful use of depth of field is perfect in your composition. The image keeps getting more interesting as I come back to it. Good one! Original.
