Light works here. Gesture provides emotion. Good luck.

flat, please work on your exposure when doing black and white work. suggestion: instead of desaturating the image, go into your channel mixer, convert to monochromatic, and then change the Red and Blue to 0% and leave the green at 100%, notice the difference?

This could have very easily been a boring shot of a wrapped candy bar... but the torn off wrapping, bite mark and little chocolate crumbs bring this shot to life and make it say 'comfort' in a whole new way. Nicely done!

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.
