Howard:

Nice to see the curve filament in sharp focus, icing on the sepals and a nice clean bg. Would like to see more DOF but I understand the shooting conditions may not be favorable.

I like the great texture and detail, and how the plant stands out against the neutral olive background. Your DOF got everything needed in focus. I especially like that the image is well balanced. Good job!

Excellent comp, Howard. The rosemary shows very well against the clean, contrasting green bg.
