Neat branch, and nice contrast. I wish the contrast was a bit more interesting though.

Done too many times before... but I wonder how it would look tightly cropped on the twigs w/o the leaves?

Simple and effective use of shape and line, and well placed focus.

This picture is nice because the curly branch is completelyblack while the background is blue.

8 Sandals in a row

Comment by Dvosdon:
Thank you very much for all the advice and the scoring. I got a second 5+, which really means progress to me. I hope to keep it up and to improve.
I learned here that the title has a certain importance and that it should not be too complicated. I mentioned 8 sandals (which is correct) to emphasize the shallow DOF and make people wonder "are there really eight? ...". I was still playing with a wide aperture of F/1.4.
