I took this photography in my neighbors backyard laying on the ground looking up at the pear tree. I loved the sky in this picture. All I did was some cropping, adjusted contrast, resized and then sharpened. Hope it does well!

Hello from the Critique Club.

I like your subject choice for this challenge and gave you a 6 on this image because I thought the subject met the challenge and you executed your idea well. The only suggestion I have to improve this image is to try using a square crop to eliminate some of the dead space at the top of the image. As presented, the section of tree branch without any fruit and the section of sky without clouds at the top of the photo act as negative space with no real purpose. I would suggest cropping the top of the image down to just below the node where the branch holding the top pear meets the main branch. Give it a try and see how this changes the balance of the image.

PM me if you have any questions regarding this critique.

Tim

I like the suspension it has...like they are hanging in mid-air.
