From the Critique Club
From a technical standpoint, this image is nicely done. You have a nice soft focus which (normally) goes well with the color of the subject. You have very nice soft warm lighting.
When I say that the soft focus and this color of subject normally go well together, in this instance I think that the effect clashes with the glitter. I KNOW it's a soft focus effect by looking at the leaves and stem! My eye, however, is trying to tell me that the glittery grapes are out of focus however! I believe this to be an optical illusion caused by the glitter. The soft focus combined with the light refraction of the glitter makes it LOOK out of focus.
Compositionally, this shot is a little lacking. I think that putting the subject along a diagonal rather than straight across the center would make this shot 'pop' more! I'm also a little put off by the effect of the glare along the very bottom edge of the reflection.
All in all this is a very interesting study in the effects of lighting, soft focus and subject material!

| Nicely done, love the reflections. Composition might be improved by making the line of the stalk on the diagonal..... |
