I too have an interest in this sort of subject.  The shallow DOF does provide a feeling of depth to the image, but my personal preference is to have a little more of the subject in focus.  Also, my eye wishes for a little more space on the left so that the leaf tip is not so crowded.  I like the gradational gray background, but there appears to be a very slight dark spot in the lower left that could be removed.  All of these suggestions are really minor as this is a fine photo as it is.  Nice work.

Thank you for commenting, but more than that , thank you for your suggestions and observations. They really are helpful and much appreciated. I have to agree with you!

I never even noticed that dark spot, and now it's all I can see! :) Thanks Again, Robert, I really appreciate it.
