Greetings from the Critique Club!
Very nice simple shot, elegant lines, good use of green on green. But I also wish that there was more dof here to show the detail of the main frond, at least the leading edges. Going by your settings I'm guessing you shot handheld and wide-open. Neither are bad unto themselves, but it's a risky combination, especially with a macro shot. A tripod will let you leave the shutter open longer and increase the dof (and free up your hands in case you do need to hold the tendril still). Also, wide open is rarely any lenses' best focal length; check www.dsoptix for that lens, and dollars to doughnuts, it's probably more like f4.0 or f5.6.
Overall a pleasing shot, and hope this critique has been of help.
Feel free to PM me,
