I saw yours in challenge. There are two problems why your did not score well.
1. There is a red round glow on it, which distroys the main shape, which is well visible in my shot.
2. your crop is not good. I mean it is good but it makes it ordinary. Everybody who shoots this subject crops like that. So what would have helped is unusual crop. Something that you do not see often. There are two in my portfolio, both of them are close and different crops. I think you should try again with this subject but with in mind that you are not going to shoot ordinary thing this time.
Thanks for comment.
Well, not a lot here. Perhaps a tighter vertical or square crop would help. There is too much space on the left side. I know, I know, negative space is good--sometimes---but I think there is too much of it in this crop. There is not that much to look at here.
You name every blade of grass ?? Jeepers you really need to get out more lol.
A lovely capture, (and good to see Suzi and Betty in the background), but I can't quite decide whether this is pleasingly minimillist - or just doesn't have enough going on :- )
Whatever the outcome you have captured nice colours, nice DoF, and pleasing bokeh.
