Critique Club review:
Hi Geoff,
First, your subject a plant meets the challenge, unless you consider the light the subject, which also fits the challenge.
This shot has some positives along with negatives. Lets look at the positives first. The plant is lined up nicely, with the light shining to the plants leaves. I like this. The forest is nice behind the shot, but needs to be a bit darker, so it doesn't draw the eye away from the plant or light.
Now the downfalls. IMO the light, the purple, is very un-simplistic and distracting. A natural white light would have worked better. The purple is just too overpowering. I think having the plant at a different angle, (more above) or closer to show the light on the leaves, would have made a better shot. There needs to be a bit more contrast with the background and the leaves of the plant.
I hope this helps a bit. Keep trying, you learn from every shot. I know I have and keep trying to do better.
Merry Christmas and a Great New Year.
Van
