Took this picture with a friend. Please tell me what you think and advice is always needed.

I think it is a very interesting and unique photo, I like it!

Brilliant concept. And don't minimise the importance of having the vision and ideas and being able to 'see' a picture. As Pops Carter used to say all the time on here, "The camera is a box in which you store photographs. The picture is behind your eyeballs."

There are a couple of things I'd wonder about with this one:

• What would it be like of I made all the seed heads just a little sharper?
• I'd like to see it with a bit of fill light brought onto the the background foliage - not much, but just to put a bit of detail into that area

And ... just left of centre, in the bottom third there is a small spot of light (dust?) (just below the long stem that goes up from left to right). It really catches the eye. Needs to come out.

Like it a lot. A very delicate, subtle image. Well spotted. Agree with Donald's comments.

Thank you very much.
