Image has nice DOF and clarity, however I find it a little busy for my tastes. Looks like a dull day as well which takes a bit away from the end result. Good Luck.

Very ominous feel to the pic - I like the mood. I think it could be better with the top ?steeple? on the left shown fully.

I like the detail in the leaves of the fern, but the flowers in the background seem to distract from the fern.

Strong detail, sense of texture, lovely light, colours. Well composed too. i'm having a bit of a reaction against the over-processed at the moment, so this speaks to me all the more. Not wholly convinced of the compositional choices, if i were being harsh, which i usually am.

while i appreciate your effort here, i am finding your background more of a distraction than a complimentary enhancement to your subject. i think your image would be a lot stronger if you cropped off the left 30% of the image (hold your hand up to the screen to see what i mean). the lightness leads my eye away from the subject and ultimately off the image.
