I have a bamboo plant as desktop decor... After staring at it for

months, I've decided to try a series of images which explore the

curves of the plant. This was the first one I was pleased with. Your

thoughts and criticism are appreciated.

Nicely composed...others might object to the cropping of the plant on all sides, but I think is serves to accentuate the lines and lighting. My only criticism would be the burned out highlights, which on film would be indicative of over-exposure. In digital, I don't know what the cause would be, possibly the same thing. I would probably BLC (Bracket Like Crazy) on this one and see if there is an exposure that would allow me to maintain the full tonal range.

I agree with the highlights being a problem. I'm using an incandescant bulb on a dimmer, so should be able to get through this problem. I don't do much work with unnatural light, so it's a learning experience. I think I was really trying to focus too much on the lines / shapes and let some technical detail slide. Thanks for the reminder!
