Hello from the Critique Club

An appealing image that is deemed to meet the challenge

An excellent macro of this seed head that shows of the intricate structure at its best. My own perception of bokeh has always been much more clearly identified with specular highlights as opposed to soft or OOF areas which is where I would place your entry. The challenge brief would also seem to veer more towards the soft focus rendering than my own interpretation so feel free to ignore my comments.

I like your off-centre composition it shows the plant's natural surroundings in soft focus that does not detract from the main subject. Your DOF has captured detail in all the important areas well but the sympathetic lighting has also highlighted those delicate areas to perfection.

Welcome to DPC, I see this is your maiden entry, very well done, what a great start, I look forward to seeing more of your lovely work soon, Sid
