| Really cool picture!! I love it!! Like the Black and white look... only thing i would pick at is that the bottome part of the leaf looks like it is in focus and as you run up the leaf it gose out. So basicly the focus is off just a little.... over all a great shot! if i was voting i would have gave it an 8! |

Hi! Here̢۪s a comment from the Critique Club.
First Impression:
My eyes went to the left leaf edge, blurry, leaf veins took me to the top right corner, blurry, then down to the water drop in focus. Nice back lighting!
Composition:
With such a narrow DOF, cropping the bottom half may have been more effective. Backlighting works well. Good job with the drop. 2nd leaf adds a dark distraction on the front leaf.
Subject:
I like your concept. Good eye to see the potential of the frost and the drop. Nice texture in the leaf.
Technical:
With no post processing comments, I can̢۪t comment on your intentions. Lighting is effective with the leaf edge highlighted. DOF leaves most of your picture out of focus. More focus would have really brought out the edge ice as well as the leaf veins.
Summary:
Nice shot, I think the shallow DOF and cropping worked against you.

| Interesting backlighting effect...... the drop of water is a very nice touch... the muted background a perfect choice.... crisper focus on the leaf would have really have improved this shot |
