I kinda like this one. Just wonder if the DOF is suitable or it is too shallow.
I intend to use it on the front cover of a folder. Any suggestions for improvement are greatly appreciated.
Taken with an EOS 300D and an EF 50/1.8 mkII. RAW processed in PS CS.

Regards!

Nice compostion and Bokeh, but i think the DOF is way too shallow. Both leaves need to be in focus for this photo to work.

I like the contrast between the areas in focus and these in the blur. I'll try to reshot the photo with smaller aperture, but don't know if the leafs are still in place :(

I think that if you used a smaller aperture, you'd lose the very nice looking blurred background so I probably would not change it. I like it the way it is except for the less out of focus leaf in the top left.

It is good with the shallow dof; it draws your eye to the center.
It would work with more dof, as long as you can still keep the blurred background
It would be better if you cloned out the partial red leaf on the left and on the top of the image, they are distracting.
