2 coconuts

DaGimCi C0d3 · 6th March 2006

Was sipping a cuppa at the Bt Timah food centre beside the shell station last weekend when we noticed this 2 coconuts... And we took a few shots... This is one particular shot that I like a lot...

... What do the critics out there think?

C&C most welcome...

Sorry, doesn't cut it for me. Too much happening in the foreground (and all around).
The oof leaves in the front are just too distracting and take up too much of the picture (~50% of the picture) and the 2 coconuts look too much like 'nads.

no prob... each has its taste...

u mentioned that the foreground too distracting as the leaves took up too much space... but thought the out of focus (both fore and background) effect shld have like brought your attention to the 'nads' right away?

And the leaves sort of provide a framing effect as well?

Yup, the leaves do provide framing, but leaves on the right hand side (especially the bottom right corner) is the part that is too distracting.

Well, most important is you like it.
