Greetings from the Critique Club!!...
COMPOSITION... I think the monochrome tone with blue toning gives the photo a really nice look...very moody. Also like the fact that the droplets are different sizes and have clear reflections. Background's a nice blur which doesn't detract from the subject. Composition of the leaves are ok, but something about their placement bothers me... If the right buds were tilted towards the right, the eye would have an easier time following the branch, would make a more natural curve. A little nit-picky but I just feel the branch takes an abrupt turn and has a hard time fitting the frame. How about a diagonal composition? When about to shoot a subject, always a good idea to try looking at it from many angles, moving your camera viewfinder like crazy.. I'm not sure how other compositions would have worked, maybe this one was the best giving the rest of the plant, other obstacles, etc...
TECHNIQUE... I like silhouetting the leaves... I think a shot with the leaves perfectly exposed would dull the image. Still, I find them a little too dark... a little more texture in the dark areas of the leaves would be nice...the top-rightmost bud is an example of the kind of exposure that would have been nice for the rest of the branch. A little noisy, but it adds a gritty feel to the photo that I think adds to the image as a whole.
OVERALL.. Any flaws I mentioned are pretty minor, a very moody capture that would have worked well for the flora challenge as well :) |

| Nice clear shot. The background is interesting. It adds to the drama of the overall picture. |
