I think the liquid could have been a bit sharper, but I like everything else about this image, especially the muted colors.

Now that is interesting. You put liquid in an object that can't hold liquid. How did you do that?

comment from my 1-4-0 thread...

This is the type of pic that reminds me to recalibrate my monitor again lol so (viewing from 45 degrees) a lovely subdued sunset sets the bg off well, I like the top and right hand trees framing the image but think the main tree is too central and maybe not straight? Using a penlight to light the path during a long exposure is a great idea and would have loved to have seen you taking this lol

From the Critique Club

OK keeping it real here! I think your photograph looks good and defiantly meet the challenge. I think the separation of the leaf and stitching back together is neat. I have not seen that before and It looks good. You focal point is good and the lighting is great. But I do have a few issues with the photograph that IMO kept it from going above 6.

1. I think the DOF is a little to shallow. I would of loved to see the complete leaf and stitching in focus.

2. To be honest and I maybe wrong but the lady bug looks fake. The reflection across the back is sold from one wing to the other and should be separated as the wings are.

3. The straight line on the cut leaf seams to me it would of been better, compositionally, if it was on more of a tilt in relation to the photograph instead of the top ending up near center.

Overall a good photograph that meet the challenge. Good light with good color along with creativity pushed your score upward. A few minor adjustments and I believe it would of ended up in the 6 club.

I hope you find this critique helpful and if you have any questions feel free to contact me.
