Greetings From the Critique Club!
First impression: Wow Nice.. ooh brokeh I like this.
Does it meet the challenge? Undoubtably Not only did it meet the challenge in my eyes. It meet the challenge definition and the texbook definition of brokeh. You have an out of focus background with points of light that enhances the overall image well done.
Color: Wonderfull use of colors the red and green contrast works very well. The Darker background on the lighter leaf also looks nice. I tend to agree with Bear musics comment however the light area of light in the top left corner does become a little distracting. I would be tempted to edit that spot.
Composision: Very nice well balanced shot. Everything feels to be in the right place.
Focus: hmm on a brokeh shot..almost a void catagory. But I do however see one area that I feel could be improved. The base of the leaf nearthe stem is a little out of fucus it would have been nice if that could have been kept crisp as well.
Lighting: I'm sure this might be debated, but I feel that the white line across the top edge of the leaf is distracting. I thik it pulls away from the natural beauty and color of the shot. While I'm sure others could easily see it as a nice highlite. Other than that the lighting apears perfect.
Overall; This is a very nice image in many aspect. While it's slight imperfections may hurt it a little this is still a great image. I remember voting on this in the challenge I had given it a 7 I still feel pretty happy with that rating. In a little less compeditive challenge, or a little more touch up this could have easily been a contender for a ribbon. This is a great shot with few flaws. Keep up the wonderfull work.

| this is an interesting composition that i feel would be stronger without the stem. the bokeh is nice and well-rendered, contributing a smooth background for your leaf. good work! |

| The short definition of Bokeh from KenRockwell.com, which I am using for voting on this challenge: "Bokeh describes the rendition of out-of-focus points of light." Is the subject enhanced by the bokeh of the background? Yep. Very nice! |

| True bokeh. Upper left hot spot a major distraction. Feels a bit over-saturated and harsh to me. Right side feels tight. |
