Hello!

I wanted to say I like the shape of the herb but I find the background a little distracting, I would have preferred a neutral and "flatter" background, all black or all white. Hope it helps.

^^ Same here. I really like the curve of the stem but the background is too much.

Not enough contrast in the background... here's a thought... what if you keep the background in black & white and try the stem in colour to emphasize the subject more.
Might just work!

Cheers!
