Hi Caine:
I don't know if I like the way you frame it or not, but i like the overall photo. Detail is great. I just wonder if a different crop and maybe a different background color could improve the photo. Maybe you can give it a shot!
Thanks for sharing it!

Hi. This was growing against a white wall, so not much I can do about the background. I might be able to crop it differently though, I'll have another look at it. I don't often work with negative space, and thought this was a good opportunity to do so. Thanks for your comments.

Default I like it!

The background bokeh is nice, even though there's not much of a background!. It almost looks like a staged photo inside a studio.

The subject matter is also unique!

Thank you very much. That it looks like a studio shot is why I like this so much. Weeds are one of my favourite subjects.

I will wait to see if you post another shot. BTW when I said another background color I mean you can modify it in photoshop or GIMP.
Cheers..
