For our Online Farm Markets business, I take pictures of our garden regularly. Here is the latest one. Critique away please! 😀
Canon EOS Rebel T6
Iso – 100
Aperture – 5.6
Shutter Speed -1/40
@bennett-family I got the flooded light effect!! 😀 😀Question – when we post photos for critique, should they always be completely unedited? I did edit this one, though very slightly.

Yes! You can submit edited pics!! Or you can even submit the edited and unedited, if you want critique on your editing. 🙂
September 30, 2018 at 7:25 pm #33896Lydia-BParticipantCongrats on getting the effect, Kina! 🙂
I agree with the comments that @jinnyschober made. Find a unique angle and it’ll look less like a snapshot!The colors in the photo strike me as being a bit cool, so maybe warm it up in editing.
October 1, 2018 at 6:37 pm #33915Kina LambParticipantThank you @bennett-family 😀 It’s really easy – you just have to take the picture when the sun’s setting with a wide aperture, just like you said! 😀 Is this better?
Getting close to the ground is a good idea – I consciously thought of that before I took the picture, so I lowered my tripod to the lowest setting. 😀 Next time I’ll ditch the tripod all together! 😀
October 2, 2018 at 2:16 pm #33930Lydia-BParticipantYes that’s looking better.
Getting close to the ground is a good idea – I consciously thought of that before I took the picture, so I lowered my tripod to the lowest setting.
I think there are a few reasons that I, as a viewer, can’t tell that you are close to the ground.
– The only thing in the “immediate” foreground are the leaves in the top left corner of the photo, giving the impression that you are high enough to have something in the TOP of the foreground
– There is nothing in the “immediate” foreground in the lower part of the photo to indicate that you’re close to the ground (rocks, plants, etc.)
– The greenhouse is dead center, giving the impression that you are standing looking at it straight across from it, at eye level or thereabouts.October 12, 2018 at 1:14 pm #34173James StaddonKeymasterYeah, that’s a really neat photo. Anything you can do to emphasize that golden light is good.
