I'm absolutely loving the second one, colour saturation, compostion and great use of DOF. The first one I can't make up my mind. Not sure if its the fact that you seem to lose the stones a little because of the white background but again composition is good, maybe a little cropping as I feel there is just a tad too much blank space? The third one is a classic isn't it which again I feel could be cropped top and bottom to enhance it a little......

Right after all that you have every right to ignore my comments as I'm not a pro ok. You've done well and if these are your first shots then I'm looking forward to seeing more of your work... you have a good eye.

Love the minimalist concept of the 1st one !

[Ribby]

First one for me. Lovely shot, very calming.

Last for me ;). I had a similar idea but intended using some shells from the beach. Must give it a try sometime,

[CT]

First one or me too. It's a difficut ambitious shot and you've pulled it off well .:)

[Marcel]

First one for me.

Does anyone else think they just look really minty? :D

[Bachs]

First one for me...like the second one too but the third one I find the shadows a little uncomfortable.

[Gemok]

i'd have to go for the second one its like a scaled down version of those great shots of lakes with mountains in the background I love it. The first looks a little bland to me I'm afraid and the third I'd say needed to be croped to a pano format and the shadow lightened a tad as they take away from the imact of the dark stones on such a white background

I like the first two. Excellent shots there Liberalis, and yes the first one does look minty,lol

Great set of shots there - I can just see the 1st one hanging on my wall :). Reminds me of mint imperials..lol

[Mr THX]

1st and 3rd for me Kris.....

Excellent shots.

BTW how big/small are the pebbles in shot number three ???

[matty]

#1 is very good, but #3 would be the best without the shadows!

[Liberalis]

Thanks everyone, I think I'll title that first one as Mints, lol

THX, big one is about 3 or 4 inch, and the small is about 1 inch.

Its really suprising how many people like the shadows in three, and how many dont, kinda make the shot or breaks it, interesting.

It's all a learning curve hey.

Cheers

Is the 3rd shot a homage to a print you can get at Ikea? it's almost identical.

[Liberalis]

oh wow, maybe I could sell it to Ikea, payment per copy ? ££££££££

[Sean_Mcr]

I actually have that very print, it's pretty big. The Ikea print IS £49.90 so ask for £25, you can then pay the artist who did the first one £20 not to sue:)

The first ones my fav by the way;)

[Liberalis]

Hmmm Interesting, cheers.

I'm thinking of blowing that one up for myself, should go nicley in the bathroom I feel.
