Hi from the Critique Club,

You asked for your shot to have an in depth comment from a member of the Critique Club.

A cool blue shot here and definitely a macro, well done.

I think with this shot, to make it a more powerful one, would be to flip it on end and have a little more black space.

In post processing, some contrast would have separated the bristles some, your colour is pure blue, maybe playing a little with the neutral/black colours in selective colours, would have given you more contrast as well, very nicely done. You are tack sharp, your DOF is excellent.

Good shot

Very macro-ish and certainly abstract. It seems to me it could use some slight more contrast: 9

this is a good picture so don't get me wrong...but I have tried to block out the bottom of the tendrils and I really think that would have been a stronger shot..lots of blue tendrils stacked up...your focus is great...excellent choice of subject
