**Greetings from the Critique Club!**
I like the crop, and how you chose to include the shadow of the branch as an integral part of your photo. This adds a great deal of interest to it, without taking anything else away.
What I would work on: Your center of focus seems to be the intersection of the branches that are in the middle of the photo. Because it is so near the center, this is what draws my eye. The next thing I want to look at is the grape, because it is out of character with the rest of the photo. However, the grape is not in focus and this really takes away from the overall effect. A wider DOF would work to include the grape and other leaves into the entire photo.
Overall, it was a great idea, and as I said, I like the fact that you chose to include the shadows, rather than trying to darken them or avoid them. I just wish more of the branch, leaves, and the grape were also as in focus as that center branch.
Hope this helps!

| I try to make a comment on the shot I think was most underscored in a challenge, and this is the one. Yes, the DOF might have been a bit wider, but the lighting and composition create a delicate stillness that is quite lovely. The interplay of fruit, leaf, branch ,trunk and shadow is outstanding. Keep this up and your scores ought to rise fast. |

| I think you should have focused more on the branch and not so much the shadow. Intresting though. |

| Nice idea, though the berry could have been caught in focus since it's such a prominant part of the composition. I like it's use to break up the branch and draw the eye though. |

| It feels as if the fruit should be in focus too. |

| I wish you could see the texture of the branch. Also having light on parts of the branch is distracting. |

| Interesting take. I wish that the berry were in focus too. It might have a tad more impact that way. |
