Positives - I quite like the boldness of it. This probably is also a negative in DPC-land, where harsh light/shadows are not our friends in many instances. Heck with it - I like sunlight and lots of it.
Technicals - See above about sunlight, promptly ignore as you see fit. Good detail in the leaves themselves. Noticeable lack of "jaggies" despite the very sharp edges of the leaves, too.
Meets challenge - Yep. Though somehow I'm betting the anal retentive among us felt the subject took up too much of the frame.
Distractions/point removers: The one partial leaf at the top intrudes without contributing, in my opinion. And the subject matter itself is probably not "wow" enough to garner higher votes. |
