Good light and color, can't go wrong with nature (it's naturally beautiful) but the background meshes with the foreground and your subject doesn't "pop" from the photo. Getting more creative with your lighting can open a whole new door

Check out next weeks assignment!

I like your subject matter, and the color and exposure look great, but (and this may just be the small version I'm seeing) I can't tell where the focal point is.... 3 of the sprigs look equally in focus, but none of them are quite sharp either. The nice thing about plants are that they are always willing to pose for you, I'd say try a few more shots.
