Initial thoughts
Great colour – love the combination of black and yellow. Composition seems random.

Composition/ Content
I like the way that some of the content is in the light and some is in shadow. I am struggling to find a point of focus – a hook into this picture. I do like that there is some negative space at the top of the frame.

Background
A good rich black – I think that helps make the yellow seem more vibrant.

Camera Work - Technical
It seems that detail/ texture is missing from the fronds under bright light – though it’s hard to tell what detail they actually have.

Fits The Challenge
Yes

My Opinion On The Photo
Great colours, but for me this lacks a focal point and hook.

Nice artistic setup. I wish the light was a little more balanced and the plant in front was more in focus.

Great shot! Methinks this looks familiar, too. Excellent capture, I love the way the yellow stands out against the black background!
