Such an interesting image. I like the pattern you made, as well as the clarity and contrast. I wouldn't change a thing.   Posted: 11/19/2024 15:53:52

I like the fu, abstract quality of the photo. The viewer is not really sure what they are looking at, but the movement of the image is intriguing. Before I read your description, I thought they were matches.   Posted: 11/22/2024 00:08:14

Very nice; as a frustrated drummer, I like seeing the sticks being presented in an artistic form. Nice composition. If I had to nitpick, a higher f stop with more DOF would boast the sharpness of that left side. But no doubt the available light was a limiting factor.   Posted: 11/22/2024 17:31:52

Good job seeing this interesting grouping to photograph. I like that the top and bottom rows angle away from the center. The image caught my eye when I was first looking at the thumbnails on the group webpage, to want to know more about the image. The image could use more depth of field, but from your settings, the light prevented that. Well done, and I would not change a thing.   Posted: 11/23/2024 18:21:22

Straight and rounds patterns are pleasing to the eye. Is there one missing? I like the grain of the hickory leading to the oval center of interest.   Posted: 11/29/2024 00:13:54
