Hi all,
I took this shot late afternoon the other day, and I'm wondering what you think about the colors, focus, composition etc.

Thanks for looking

colors....very warm and appealing
focus....hmmmm...I'm not completely digging the choice of focus. The leaf that you have the focus on has lines on it that lead your eye to the oof tip of the leaf. I don't think that's where you wanted our eye to go.
composition......I would of gotten down lower to take the shot and had a straight on view. I would also move the plant out of the middle of the shot....=)
I hope this helped!!
Keep shooting.

Thanks M! The focus tip is really helpful. I couldn't quite get my mind wrapped around what seemed just a little off about it. Any lower and I wouldn't have been able to get back up!! (just kidding) Thanks for the help.
