for me, not so good - too much foreground and background clutter - an old stump just goes so far - using extreme post processing to attempt to rescue bad shots to start with tends to end up with over processed bad shots.....pay more attention to viewfinder.

With all due respect. You've obviously expended time,effort and coin in creating these photos. To help you in making a decision on how and what to create making a picture. Ask yourself a few questions before shooting. Is the subject worth my time and is it interesting enough for others to look at? What am I trying to show the viewer? Is anything in the photo competing with the main subject? Would this look better in color or B/W? Consider the "rule of thirds" in composing a photo, and if I was a freelancer, would it sell. You might also consider reducing the contrast in the above photos to increase the presence of detail in the bark.

Silvertone, you are always one of my faves. You are always trying something new and letting us see it all. I do have to say #2 was my favorite. Keeping posting.

Youhoody, look up Silvertones other work. You are new and we are all really happy to have new folks on UHH. Look up his work and prepare to be awed. He is always willing to expose something new he is trying while the rest of us shy away from criticism.

Interesting. Looks like you came and had a walk on my side of the world. Backgrounds are a bit busy with all the sticks and such behind and around.

Last time I tried to make a shot of an interesting stump I gave up. Too much in the background and the stump just kept getting lost, no matter how much I moved leaves and sticks away from it. And I can't pass a tree like the one in the fourth shot without photographing it.

I really like the first one. Maybe if you get a little closer to the subjects and block out some of the distractions that surround them?? Like you did with the first one...it has busy-ness too, but it doesn't distract from the beauty you captured.
