Well - I think it's too too - you know. It looks a bit blown out, though it's not. I'm not sure what this is for - maybe I wasn't paying attention.

Anyway - if there is someway to relax this a little, I think it would benefit.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

Lovely use of bokeh and good sharp focus on a nice twisty tendril of some sort. Very simple and the kind of thing DPC voters love, though maybe it needs a perfect water drop or two to get you into the top 10? ;-)

The only weak spot I can see, and I really had to look, is what appears to be the tiniest bit of oversharpening on the curves of the tendril closest to the camera. Still, very pretty and excellent example of the KISS principle.

Keep up the great work, Janine!

What Lies Beneath

Greetings from the Critique Club!

Looks like the opening scene from a movie about giant gators (or is it crocs in Florida? I can never remember). Great colour, love the super-high horizon as if you're down there in the water, but I get the sense that we should be looking for something to disturb this sylvan scene...like a croc/gator snout breaking the surface and sending out ripples to warn us that all is not so peaceful. What does lie beneath?

Great dof, light to die for, comp works well. I think the size hurt you a bit as it looks quite small and the border minimizes it even more. A lot of good stuff going on here, if only it were bigger.
