An interesting photo. The line or vane from the front leaf leads the eye into the rest of the image. There seems to have good balance. I don't know if it was your intent but the focus seems to be a little soft. Some of the detail at the bottom of the image might have been able to do without. An interesting image as presented.   Posted: 07/14/2017 18:12:53

This plant reminds me of an Egyptian Onion, something I photographed about a year ago at Longwood Gardens? With the exception of the center-right, the image appears OOF to me. I like the lines and curves, and I think your title for the image is the right deor.   Posted: 07/19/2017 16:42:18

You know, I think you are both right about the focus. At the time, I was learning from a Macro photographer whose signature is focusing on little interesting parts of plants with a dreamy quality--and I always thought they looked a little out of focus, so that is probably right!!

The symmetry of your image is very appealing and the background color & bokeh add to its appeal. At f11, I would have thought you'd have more DOF. Agree with both of Bill P's comments re focus and cropping the bottom (about 1/3 or enough to eliminate most of the green 'bump' on the right of the main vein. Since you used a tripod and the focus is still soft, my guess is this was outdoors and there was a slight breeze, which at .6 second exposure, would impact focus. Seemed like a long exposure?   Posted: 07/22/2017 14:19:44
