Greetings from the Critique Club

Welcome to DPChallenge.

I'm going to start off by saying be careful with the focus of your camera and watch the settings. If you try to shoot something in macro and are a few feet away its going to be blurry. Also make sure you don't have any film on the lens that can do it too. And just like Tara explained learn to use the autofocus feature. A tripod will also aid in focusing.

Now something to remember try and finish up with an image close to 640 on the longest side. People around here really get testy over smaller images.

Don't give up go start clicking away and learn how to use that camera then come back and show everyone what you can really do.

OK ... so you have 26 comments that tell you the photo is out of focus. Here's what you can do to stop this from happening again:

Most "point and shoot" cameras, and I'm sure this includes yours, has an autofocus feature with an assist. When you go to take a photo, press lightly on your shutter button, and let the camera focus itself. It should signify it's in focus with a beep, or a red square of somesort. Mine beeps and shows a red square right where it's focused. If you don't get that, it's not focusing. Low light always makes it more difficult. One it is in focus, press the button the rest of the way down. Take several photos at different angles to help you get the best perspective. Also, try a different background next time. Quilts can be a little busy.

Don't give up! Check out my stuff, and see that I still haven't! :) Try again in one of the new challenges.

Good luck! :)
Tara

Unfortunately this image is out of focus. The colours look good together, and I love the texture of quilts. Sorry!

you may try bring some part totally into focus... nothing is really clear... it sorta makes it feel sloppy

Comment by cq107:
composition is flawed. what is beautiful? THE QUILT? cause that is what is in focus... is that a hand in the background? is someone sleeping in the bed?
check out the rule of thirds. also the yellow flower almost blends into the yellow of the quilt because of the focus problems, this is confusing to the eye.

I can see your idea; however, the focus is too poor to properly evaluate.

I think you're trying to show how delicate the flower is, and if so, you may want to have a sharper focus on the rose to draw attention to it. Good luck.
