Another shot with great initial impact. The colours and patterns are really strong and the leading lines give a lot of visual interest. Only issues I have are the high contrast, out of focus areas in the upper left and lower right, that draw my eyes. The yellow line leads off to the background, walking me through the image, but I get lost in the rear 'V' shape without really anywhere to go. This is a subject with a lot of potential.
The soft foreground and background, with only the midground in sharp focus confuses my eye a little too - I start in the out of focus region, move through the sharpness and back to out of focus again - I think I'd prefer it if it was sharp at one end or the other and lead off to either sharpness or an out of focus area. This would probably require manual focus setting on your camera, rather than using one of the AF points. You could focus and recompose but that often isn't the best way to achieve something like that. For this - I'd probably try and have the very tip of the yellow line in sharpest focus.
Also worth checking the edges again - particularly for the lighter red/ orange regions creeping in at the bottom - They could probably have been cropped out in this case. |

Achieved a PB with this photo :).
Just happened to notice the leaf as I was helping my wife in with the shopping in between rain. Thanks to all for the great comments. |

| NIce photo and iteresting perspective. Maybe dropping a white or black cloth for a background behind the fern leaf would have made this better. |

| I like where you have placed the subject within the frame. I like how the vertical line is toward the right of the photo, and from that come your horizontal lines. The drops are nice. Since I'm not really sure what constitutes 'extreme' close up, I'll say that in my opinion this comes close enough. Although some will say that 'extreme' would be to take a photo of only the little drop of water, I do still think this qualifies for the challenge. nice focus and clarity and lighting also seems good. ~Heather~ |
