Hey Oleg, nice minimalist shot of a spring bud. The bud is nice and sharp while the rest of the image is background of muted tones and circular out of focus (bokeh) highlights. For me, there are too many distractions in which the subject bud gets lost. The tree branches, especially the ones that overlap the orange circles giving high sharp contrast, pull the eye away from the bud. Posted: 04/16/2026 14:56:11

Nice shot. little too busy. Really like the muted colors. Removed some of the stems. Found it distracting
