Critique Club Review:
Technical: Color, saturation and hue are excellent. Focus is nice and sharp.
Reaction: The challenge is the background, and the background is beautiful. However, the shadows on the leaves make them look as if they are damaged or dying. On several of the leaves the shadows at first look like brown dead spots.
When I look at the picture, I wonder what it might have looked like with only the single leaf that is broadside to the viewer. That one makes a great contrast to the background. As is, there is not really a single point of focus in the foreground to hold the eye for comparison against the background.
Even so, I sure do love that background. Nice work.

| The 'bokeh' colors are simply beautiful and they do indeed showcase the shadows and green of the leaves. Very pretty image. |

| The red background really sets off those green leaves. |

| I've come back to this several times. I adore the background. I think the one thing that is bothering me about the foreground is the part on the right where there is shadow/light/shadow/light. I wonder what it would look like if you just cropped out the right third of the shot. I think it would clean it up and you'd still have that touch of shadow on the leaf on the left, under the stem. I've noticed this with several of the nature shots and it's hard to compose what Mother Nature has put there. I still like it, but it's a tad busy with all that's going on, in the right third of the shot. I love the green leaves that are clear and not cluttered by other branches or overlapping ones. |

| Very nice, I like the colour contrast between the subject and the background. Lighting's good too. |

| This is a great shot. I like the contrast in colors between the leaves in the front and back. |
