Hey Bugzie!

Great colours hit me first, very warm and inviting. Use of DoF is good - I think I agree with you on the bokeh though, it's a little... odd towards the lower middle in the greens.

Composition is great, 2 hanging balls shielded by the larger leaf. I would like to see just a touch more sharpness on the balls, they're not quite up to the standards of the leaf.

The shadows are one of the strongest elements of this shot; sharp, crisp and warm.

I also like the PP you've done - it's hard to keep such sharp edges against an OoF background looking natural but you've managed it here, even with the holes in teh leaf.

I also like the space below the lower ball and the edge of the frame, it really polishes the shot off for me.

Great capture! Adam Bramley

Beautiful detail and light, and very effective composition. Helen

oh, i was a little critical of the bokeh myself. i had some better bokeh in other shots, but the dof in them was a little too shallow. bugzie

Super composition, bugzie! I really like the warm tones here and the detailed textures/lines... obviously a shot taken towards the end of the day. The 'bokeh' in this shot from the Z6 lens is excellent!
