Fine closeup of a mossflower - the OOF moss in the background is pretty.

Hi

This is one of those shots where I can really see the potential for a great looking shot but does not quite hit the spot - if you know what I mean. I like the OOF effects and the strong lighting often works well with these to produce interesting colours; but its hard to get a strong looking area of primary interest, or a main focal point, that works well with these effects. So for me this image is one of those that has good stuff happening but does not really come together as a whole for my tastes at least

Just my thoughts

All the best
Matthew

Took the words right out of my mouth! Definitely a nearly but not quite image, for me too.
