IMO, this image is too busy and lack a subject to focus on, if the thorns are the subject it may work a little better to get a tighter crop and focus on fewer thorns at one time. Hope the information is helpful, good luck in the challenge.

maybe a square crop, just feels like there is too much on the left. maybe it could have used more contrast, just not sure

This is delicate and reminds me of a haiku.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

lacks a real focal point
  Photographer found comment helpful.

This reminds me of a spring shot I took and one of the first I posted on my profile. It would be nice to see some of these even closer.

Need a little more contrast and a clear focal point.

Nice lines from the branches

subject matter not appealing IMO, lack of real point of interest
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/14/2009 12:04:13 AM
Nice detail! Very springlike!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 11:09:07 PM
I like the DOF, good focus. The lighting is little flat.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 10:34:06 PM
Interesting, but the amount of detail in the image makes it hard for my eye to find a primary area of focus.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 09:51:12 PM
oh lovely!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/13/2009 01:39:32 PM

The title looks like a fairytale. Nice fresh green colors and I like the DoF.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

pretty greens...nice bokeh...like the DOF

Nice and simple. Some will complain about the lack of a clear focal point, but it works for me.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/12/2009 08:50:59 PM
Nice effect through the DOF.

Those thorns look sharp!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 08:26:40 PM
nice balance of colours. I would have preferred a more shallow DOF though.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 11:17:33 AM
a little too busy in my opinion
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 10:04:10 AM
A little too much going on here for me, perhaps if you'd managed to isolate just one of the little guys.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 09:55:48 AM
like the shallow dof
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 09:54:42 AM

This is ok but not a great picture for this challenge. Just not enough punch for me.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 09:03:31 AM
Spring is sure and trustworthy
  Photographer found comment helpful.
 03/11/2009 09:02:44 AM
