Beautiful texture, shade, and color on that tree! I feel like there's something a little off on the plants in the foreground, but I can't put my finger on it. Overall you did a wonderful job!

It looks incredible, but the tree doesn't look right with those plants...

If it were a true picture, which it's not, it's all generated, but still, if it were taken with a proper camera, and the tree was the center of focus for the picture, then the flowers in the foreground would be a little bit blurred. That's what's off about them...The picture is too perfect. Too crisp and clear...

But otherwise, I do love the picture...

Your not extactly right, even if it was a true picture then it would not have to be blurry at the front only if you had a Depth of Feild Filter turned on your SLR, but yeah it is too perfect but it is not wrong in that sense that it would have to be blurry up front.

I never said it was WRONG, just that COULD be what she's thinking...

But you're right...depends on the setting your camera is on...Like my camera has a "Close up" and "Distant object" setting on it and the close up would focus on the tree and make the foreground blurred, while the distant setting would not blur the flowers...so much...

But you are correct in that sense...

But if it were a TV show that was looking at the tree, the camera that they would use would have the foreground flowers blurred. I can almost guarantee it because they do things like that. And I've seen enough movies and shows that if they looked at your tree, the flowers would be blurred. lol...

Yes its a Depth of Feild thing, i don't really like to use depth of feild to much. What kind of camera do you have?

Oh really!? I LOVE using Depth of Field! It's totally awesome! Now that I have the appropriate camera to do such things with...

This is the camera I have...

http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=3626648

But the one that I have is NOT digital...I only spent about $200 for the camera I have...this one is digital making it about $900. So I opted for the film version of it...lol

Canon SLR, nice camera. Just a little tip you can't do much with a 55 mm Lens go out and get yourself about a 100-150 mm lens then you can take longer shots and longer distanced shots.
