Tea shoots

I really like how you've captured the translucence of the leaves on what appears to be an overcast day.  The soft light glowing through is superb.  I might suggest a crop on the top of the frame.  The bald grey sky does not add anything to the photo.  Good job on your perspective.  It's one not often seen.

Hello again!

I saw the crop you left at my portfolio.  It does to away with a lot of the space at the top of the frame.  I don't much care for how close the tallest leave is to the edge.  It's almost in danger of being cut off.  I uploaded what I would have chose for a crop had it been my image.  I feel your original crop left too much open space at the top.  Your second crop was too close for my taste.  I think that it's important to keep some of they sky element in the photograph.  It allows the viewer to experience the soft, diffuse lighting conditions.  You don't want to leave too much sky though, your focus is to be on the tea leaves of course.  I also like the boheh blending from dark to light.  Again, an element that I would not want to completely lose.  Just an idea.  Keep shooting!
