I like the idea....however, it's kinda 'soft' throughout the frame.
I think there are two basic ways to approach this type of shot. Either use a very small aperture and get as much depth as possible...ie: f/22 or even smaller.


or, select a particular tree trunk....probably say half way in the middle and make that MEGA sharp and the rest of the trees out of focus....whereby the shallow DOF actually excentuates the depth theme, etc.


Kinda like this image...where the front bottle is the only one that is in focus.

Kev,
Thank you. I want to say though that my camera goes no smaller than f/8. I have tried every way I know, but it just isn't geared for it Sad
So, I just have to make the best of what I've got. I'm still pretty new on the aperture stuff though, so, I'll try to improve, but I can't tell you how many times I've wished it could go smaller! I love taking pictures of flowers, but I end up having to use the Super Macro Mode to get it even close to what I want.
Thanks for the comment though. I just wanted you to know that I'm not trying to ignore your suggestions, it's just my camera won't do it!
