I want SOME part of the picture in sharp focus, or some rationale given for it not being so...

Great bug -- good job controlling DoF to maintain lots of detail.

I think it would be stronger if cropped tighter, maybe take 1/3 or more off the top and left. The subject should be the detail on the bulbs, and the little bit of photo showing between them at the top, and the type at the bottom right, are enough to convey "catalog" without devoting so much space to it. I'd try to get the focal plane on the roots and broken skin of the middle row. since they seem to have (potentially) the most interesting detail.

Excellent idea. I like the way you controlled the color.

I trust your picture info says what this is -- it's unfamiliar to me. I'd have tried for more contrast because I'm interested in the details, but I realize it might not "look as good" that way.

I'm not so sure I get your title but it's a pretty creative photo.

I like the subject but wish the focus was sharper

Very effective/appropriate use of soft look, yet has a color quality like stained glass.

Well, in this particular example we do know...one of my favorite definitions is that of a chicken: it's an egg's way of making another egg...
