Macro test : leaves

[Jiness]

Hi everyone,

I just registered on DPS , and I would like your point of view on this particular shot.

This is my first macro shot and I'd really like your comments/advice.

Thanks

What is your EXIF data here?

This is not really what I call true macro. Sure, you're not too terribly far away from this leaf, but the tiny details of that leaf are not taking up the majority of the frame, either.

Here is a nice article on DPS that shows examples of macro photos:

I like the subject and the bokeh in the background. It is really beautiful. A few things to consider. 1. The subject is rather soft. I would prefer the leaves be a little sharper so the details really stand out. 2. The branch to the right is distracting. I would try a few different crops to remove this or simply remove it if your PS skills are up to it.

In general I like the image and the colors are great.
