For the one of the tea pot, i think you should increase the aperture to accommodate the entire teapot, leaving the background for you to play depth of field with.

I like #8 - the peaceful expression on the boy's face contrasts strongly against the state of brokenness of the mug. Would be better if you exaggerated the brokenness - such as showing the shards/broken pieces scattered around the mug..

Reflection is a bit distracting in #2.

Agree with above that having more of the teapot in focus would improve the teapot shots.

Agreed with wkteoh - i think #8 (cracked in peace) is a good idea but i wonder if something could have been done to bring out the contrast a little more. I'm wondering if the photo would have more impact in B&W? Also, I think that many of the shots from the 2nd set would have benefited from a bigger DOF. In particular, for the orchids shot, only the tips of a few petals are in focus. That being said though, i love the bokeh in your shots. What lens are you using?

thanks for the comments! i'm using the nikon 55-200mm for most of the closeup shots. #1-3,8-9 are taken using the 50mm f/1.8d prime lens.

so next time i'll try experimenting more with bringing out the subject into a clearer manner. thanks!

composing a good photo is hard ):
