Spring is Coming.

I took a little rest from shooting this year and now I'm trying to get back into it.
Just wondering how this works out.

hmm tough one man. it lacks some sharpness, also the BG, i'm not sure works with this. i would've liked a more lighter, green (garden) kind of backdrop to this to compliment it. Right now it kind of looks out of place. Almost alien. sorry to say this particular one doesn't work for me

icicle - It's pretty plain, perhaps if it was shot in better, warmer light it would be more aesthetic. Echoing Liban's comment, it's also very soft with fuzzy detail, too unlit on the right side and doesn't have a very interesting background to support it.

I don't know if you own a Macro lens but it's really a must for shots like this!

I'm not sure why it appears so soft then. It could have moved due to wind, or it's possible that you didn't really focus correctly. Ahh..

might of been a slight breeze, caused I also used the 10 sec self timer.
