Easter Tree

[mingcai]

Hi all. Took this shot in Prague during Easter celebrations. Was wondering if anyone would be so kind as to critique this photo. Sorry for the poor quality due to compression.

Cheers.

Welcome to DPS forums, mingcai and for sharing your picture with us.

I think it was a nice idea to take it with the beautiful blue sky behind it. It enhances the colors and helps you feel the lovely spring day. There might be a little too much sky to the left. Is it out of focus or is that due to the compression? It might be better if it was sharper so that the individual ornaments stood out more.

Hi, thank you for your kind comments.
When I shot it, AF was on and it was on the only red ornament. So I should guess that compression caused the shot to lose quite a lot of details. Will take note of the sky next time I shoot! and hopefully photos turn out bettER!

Cool idea. I think because the tree is tall you lose some of that perspective having it in a landscape shot. Next time try do it inn a portrait shot with less sky as previously mentioned.
