Ilex x attenuata - East Palatka Holly

Comment:
I'm not one to complain about composition generally, but the dead-center berries don't work for me, particularly with the edge of the leaf cut off.

Nice wash of colors, but my eye wants something to lock onto as it keeps darting from one leaf to the next. Would make a nice puzzle. :)

Flowers mark the spot

Lovely colors, composition, details and background, but the ISO noise just scratches like nails on a chalk board for me. Or maybe it's artifacts from a structure/clarity adjustment? It bothers me less on the flowers and post than it does in what I'd want to be a soft and very OOF background, but instead my eye focuses on the artifacts and not the wash. Another 6 that could have been 9.

The flower is lovely and well processed. The background noise is utterly distracting, and while I understand that the rules won't let you remove them I wish you had softened them a bunch. 6 that could have been 9.

Stunning. Nicely shot and processed.

Would have loved it if you had been able to extract that thread first. Still very cool.

Comment:
Perhaps a little blur added to soften the bokeh? Structure/clarity adjustment in the OOF regions distract from the delicate nature of the rest of the shot.

Great idea, but the line of the stem, and other leaves, distract from the overall composition just enough to make me say, "Great idea, but you didn't nail it". Perhaps without the extra leaves?

I might have gotten rid of the long web on the left as it distracts the eye (the others, not so much). Great detail otherwise.
