Interseting perspective, good concept. The bright highlight in the upper left distracts though. DOF seems off a bit, You might have tried to get the point in very sharp (excuse the bad pun) focus.

More focus near the center would have made this better for me.

blurry what

I really love the DOF here - infact great use of DOF features in a lot of my 10s, 9s and 8s this week.
Wonderful composition and colours too.
Only marred by that one bright spot at back left. Could it have been avoided with a reflector or someone blocking that shaft of light with their hand?

good job

Ouch! Is that like F22 or something?! lol

Ouch, don't let them stab you in the eye! (I know!) Good color and nice framing. Interesting shot with a fairly narrow DOF. While I like the idea, I think the outer most tip needs to be the focal point, with the rest getting fuzzier. Macro shots are more difficult to convey the idea of direction (as in looking down), but I do accept this shot for this challenge. 6 Swash

Love this macro DOF effect - did you try one that focussed precisely on the point of the leaf? I would imagine it might have had more impact ... Good work.

Wow! great macro. The background is just right for the spike. Good job

I get your point. A bit more DOF would have got more of mine.

With a bit more DOF this would have been a 9-10

This is a really nice photo and I love the shallow depth of field. However, the perspective doesn't give me the 'feel' of 'from above'. I'm sure that it IS from above, but it just doesn't give a strong feeling of it... - setzler
