[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
While in Shibuya region of Tokyo I came across these wonderful little plants. I thought they were very amusing. I really enjoy the DOF in the photo also, the faded faces smiling in at different angles.

I like the composition, however not sure if I should crop the white object in the right lower corner or not.

Tell me what you think.

Excellent subject! These are truly something different, and definitely worth sharing. I think the crop is just right because it gives perspective to the picture and adds an extra layer of meaning. These aren't just cute, weird plant things, but they are waiting for someone to buy them and take them home. I really like narrow focus as well.

Kawai, desu! It is a nice pattern shot and the Dof does make it very interesting. It's well done. The sign is a tidge distracting, but not too bad. I would have been tempted to move the OOF focus on the bottom left, too, though I know that probably wouldn't be seen as nice. But I like it.

Nice composition, and interesting subject but with a small dof. The same photo with a greater F value maybe had been better.
