    Hey all,
    My main interest in these pictures is the colors and that is ok with me. But I am not sure about the angle of shot. Can you give me your feedbacks on that. I am feeling that I should have used a deeper DOF.

    I looked at the images before I read your comments and my immediate reaction was I would like to see greater DOF. I prefer the more overhead angle in the 1st shot, as it tends to emphasise the shapes as well as the colour (which is terrific by the way). Nice balanced arrangement of the baskets too. Just my 2 cents.
    I welcome all critique and comments on any of my photos

    I prefer the comp in shot 1 as well.
    And yup for me more DOF (which would have required a tripod) would have been better.

    Same for me.

    I'm going with shot 2. I like the way that POV shows us more shape to the baskets. An overhead shot would work well also and make it easier to get everything in focus.

    If you cropped shot 2 about 25 - 30% off the right side of frame you'd just about get what you wanted.

    Ditto for me. Number one with a little bit more DOF.

    Yes just a little more for shot number 1, and Mad Aussie's cropping suggestion does seem like it would work.
