good use of light, but needs a bit of highlight recovery and a real subject in the frame. play a bit with DOF and composition. my eyes jump around the frame, and end up at the top of the photo.

OP here, appreciate the input.

agreed, the picture lacks a subject/focus.

Looks nicely executed. Feels like a boring texture image.
>> Teus !QbSstcPD6U
I also see some softness

Exposure Time 1/20 sec
F-Number f/6.3
Exposure Program Manual
ISO Speed Rating 100
Lens Aperture f/6.3
Focal Length 55.00 mm

good that you work in M-mode, but I think you're handholding this? raise ISO to 200 and get a shutter speed of 1/40, apply a bit of USM as well.

Handheld yes, was a bit of a bitch taking that shot due to it being rather cloudy (thus poorly lit) and due to the light breeze in the air (goddamn leaves wouldn't stay still). This was the best of 5 shots I took, one turned out very nicely composed but was too blurred to be used.

Thanks for the tip about about changing the ISO speed, didn't cross my mind before. As for teh USM, alas I'm only a noob and haven't gotten around to getting anything other than the 18-55mm kit lens yet (which I know has been said to suck on multiple occassions). Got my camera a month ago, with extremely limited knowledge and experience, basically just trying to explore the different settings so I'll be able to get my camera to take the shots I want it to.

Here's another shot and this is one of my favorites, again I've livened up the colours using photshoop, I'll post the original if requested.

He/she meant USM as in unsharp mask filter.
