Hey there from the Critique Club

With this one, I am going back to my old, nearly ancient on the site these days, format for my CC comments. Let's see if I stick with it.

First of all, congrats on yet another ribbon. This one, as with most all of your work, is well-deserving of the recognition.

My thoughts on the image: This is a fantastic capture and superb post-processing. Great composition, great job meeting the spirit of the challenge, and you offered us a very cool photo subject.

My ideas for improvement: There is honestly nothing that I could offer to make this one better.

Where I would have/did score this entry: This one was one of my 3 favorites in this challenge. I was your lone 9 vote, and I matched that vote on two other images in this challenge. I also gave a 9 to the first-place ribbon entry, and the 9th place finisher. I am honestly surprised that this one didn't at least take second. That is the beauty of DPC, though. You just never know how the votes will fall.

Thank you for the opportunity to provide a critique on your entry,
Eric

Nicely controlled DOF and sharpness on the subject. Even though the colors are consistent throughout the image you have brought the viewer's eye into the subject with the lighting and pin point DOF. My favorite of the challenge!

Meets shallow DOF perfectly, Very nice work crystal clear focus and great DOF.

Great example of DOF for isolating a subject that would otherwise just blend in.

Such a good capture. Capturing the single stalk in such a single color area must have been a challenge.
