Beautiful shot. The DOF is perfect, drawing one's attention to the center horsetail. The lighting gives it a very warm feel. Harry

Nice. I agree with the comment below about a bit more color. I would also tone down the band of highlight you have on your left-vertical third. The differing levels of light give added proximity (intimacy?) to the closest plant, but that area of highlight is a bit distracting. Regardless, warm, engaging photo! Joe Reilly

Nicely done, Sarah...well-composed, good DOF with repeating elements, and nice lighting. Nice image. MFC

What I really like about this picture is the repeating element of the other horsetails, and the DOF is just right, IMHO. I'd prefer a little more color in the scene, but otherwise a very nice shot!
