Bump :headslap:

hey did anyone else feel the speed bump? :laughing:

nice photos Iggy. I really like the second one with the brown leaves. The first one is nice but the out of focus leaves in the front are distracting to me. The third is a beautiful bush!

what Bambi said. too bad about the foreground blur in shot 1. The background looks awesome.

Love love love the colors!

2nd one for me please...and I agree about the thoughts on the first shot. :)

Thanks all, the blurry foreground wasn't an accident. I tried it that way on purpose as I thought it added to the shot... live and learn. Thank for the feedback. I've seen shots with blurry foregrounds before and most of the time I don't like them but every once in a while I find it cool. I have to figure out that balance.

I didn't think it was an accident and i agree. If we only did things when we knew they'd be perfect it would be awful! And besides, just because it didn't work for me doesn't mean you should chuck it :)

for me - on second look- it might work better if it didn't take up so much of the photo. rather then leading the eye in, it seems to block it.

Thanks. I won't chuck it... I still love the colour and the light. I'll just try something different next time.

Nice set Iggy, I would add that the first shot blurring would work well if It was for a magazine and you were laying out copy (text) on to the foreground. The colours throughout are lovely.
