A little on the light side?

Not sure on this one! Any thoughts?

I am sure. I really like it. the backlight is lovely, the focus is spot on and it's nice use of negative space. It might be stronger if you cloned out the oof stem in the back (or at least the light bit).

Hi Bambi, thanks for the suggestion. I may try and photo it again without the other stem in the background-it will give me a nice excuse to revisit the botanic gardens.
Do you think it would be better if the second stem was in focus?

That was the one thing I noticed too was the stem in the background. Other than that I really like it. I think that even if the second stem was in focus it would still be a distraction.

I think you would be better off to just use some software and remove it.

Beautiful shot!! I do agree though that you should clone out the oof stem. I could see this blown up to a "large" size and placed on a wall.

I think I already picked this one out on Flickr, like it very much

My thoughts exactly!
