Greetings.
A difficult challenge, "Life". You have a good idea for it. However, the execution lets this down. There is nothing really in focus in the image, although to the middle of the image things are bit better in focus than towards the edges. In my view, it would have been much better to have something in focus here, in particular, the bean with the sprout, to make it the centre of attention. It also might have been good to arrange the setting a bit differently, not so centred, not just a bunch of beans next to each other in a small group. I even wonder if photographing just the one sprouted bean, maybe somehow including some dirt or some context to reinforce the idea of life sprouting and starting to grow, wouldn't work well. The slightly pink/purplish tones of the background also do not seem to enhance the green of the beans/sprout - it might be worth experimenting with different backgrounds, for example, totally white or black.
I hope this helps.

| I understand what your trying to do with the focus, but for me, it seems to be soft all over. The subject you chose was certainly original. |

| A nice idea, but it all seems quite out of focus. |

| I wish the DOF would not as shallow and show the entire capsule in focus. I love the idea of this pic. The greens are captured very well. |

| Right idea for the challenge but so out of focus. Some clarity and maybe a border/frame might have given this photo a little more "life" |
