Hi Mark,
On first thought (meaning on second impression
), I would argue that the sun, being also in company with the darkest, busiest part of the picture, is a little too much in a bottom corner of your compo. We have a bit of centrifugal weight, spatially and light)wise too, pulling our sight away from the rising stem. I wonder if it was possible to angle the shot to simply hide it, save its glow of course.
Continuingly, I also find very difficult to know where to cut leaves off often when shooting flowers or vegetation, as concerns the edges of a frame. Here, still at that bottom corner, we sense you just had to frame it as it is, "good enough", rather than perfect the coçmpo with exhaustive refinement, which I think is the real pursuit in succeding at vegetation or still life photography.
Hello from France, BTW, visiting the family, and excitingly about 5 weeks from landing in Bangkok, from San Francisco.
