Greets from the Critique club:
Hi Magnus!
For this me, this picture lacks wow factor. It's certainly different than most in this challenge and I like it for that. It's also a very simple composition - branch running diagonally and blurry background. That's also good in my book. What I don't like is that the this is soft or that the focus is lacking.. I want to see sharp pointy things, not suggestions of sharp pointy things! Also the shot seems strangely colorless. That may be due to the very plain background - probably not much you can do about that though! Too nitpick, I don't really like the positioning of that one thorn in the middle, I think it's just a bit too centered. Maybe a slightly different crop would have allieveated that?
Good job and good luck!

| I find this photo a little dull. I think it would be more interesting to take a closer macro of 1-3 thorns, rather than cut the photo in half with a long twig like this. |

| Simple but well done! The shallow DOF makes the thorns stand out a lot more! |

| The darker side of Flora! I like your approach with the challenge. Extra points for "thinking outside the box." |

Pretty original. I love the sharpness of the thorns, abd the contrast of the thorns with the softness of the buds. The background is perfect.
Excellent photo I hope you will reveal what the background is when the challenge is over. |

| Simple, clean composition. A little more saturation would have been better. |

| I love it. Nice and simple. A tad more focus would help, however it's a very effective shot with the blurred bacground. Jacko. |

| You know I love the fact that this isn't a flower - but a sharp toothy incarnation of this flora in April. Gritty, stark, not some silly fluffy tings with petals (I've seen WAY too many of these today!) |
