cute - maybe a bit overexposed, and a bit underdone, but cute

Comment by vawendy:
Ok -- it took forever to read the summary, but now I get the reference. Not sure about the composition, though. I like the shape, but the DOF is giving me a bit of a problem, just because such a main part of it is OOF, and that's the part my eye goes to first. I'd actually be curious to see what this would look like the other way around -- the tip closer in, and the leaf going out. I know it's not the idea, but the DOF might work a bit better? -6-

Comment by PennyStreet:
I have read Orwell, of course, but not this. My search came up with this quote �Mrs Weaver nosed among the books, too dim-witted to grasp that they were in alphabetical order.� and it seems to fit this image well. Continuing, I discovered that "the aspidistra is the tree of life� and it hit me.This image is so interesting.. the ins and outs of life and the struggle to get it right. Excellent work here.

Comment Challenge: Nice colors & contrast against the black background. The larger part of the plant (on the left) is the part that is OOF. For me, the shallow DOF detracts from the image, rather than adds to it. The patterns in the green are interesting, and the curve of the leaf edge add interest.

6...it makes a nice enough abstract.

Comment by Cory:
Heh... Quite literal, but in the case of this book, it rather works, as the aspidistra in the book serves as a metaphor for acceptance of what life brings.

I can't give huge points, partially because I don't find the image SUPER attractive (although, admittedly, it is pretty good), and because I fail to really get as much out of this as I would hope, perhaps if there was more context..

Anyway .. 5..

nice looking sundae, wish it were the focal point more than the sprig of mint though. 7 for effort

If I'm being honest, you ruined this with the candy. I think the minimalist nature of just the handles would have made a stronger image to my eye.
