It was taken on campus, just between classes... I saw the pine-cones stuck in the mud and thought that they would become an interesting composition! So, I took out my camera (that I always carry with me) I rested it on one of my books that I placed standing on the ground, found an appropriate angle and took the shot! Other students were passing by, looking at me...I'm pretty sure that they all thought I was crazy! :-)
concerning my picture "cool lady" Yes you are 100% correct. It's a doll in a show window, therefore my title "Cool lady"... You are very observant!!! Thank you for your comment.
To you picture above: agree with comment and correction of Richard Farland. I like your idea and composition. Great eyes for the unusual things around us....
Yes it is an interesting concept (composition idea has potential) but also maybe needs a bit of work on the tonal balance to slightly correct exposure. The mud has a bit more information (colour detail) that can be brought out. This sort of photo doesn't have a lot of colour depth anyway so maybe a B/W version would give it a lift.
