Shamrock

ShamrockYou have an interesting view of this leaf pattern.  I like the concept.  The color and gradation of color is what is most striking.  The edge lighting adds a nice accent to the subject on this black background.  Normally I like to stay away from solid black backgrounds but in this case with the extreme colors I think it works. 

I do have a problem with the fiber optic stem entering the image.  It is too intense a light and draws us away form the subject.  There is no color to work with in this area so you may have some difficulty changing the brightness and making it look natural in your photo manipulation software.  A better solution may have been to put something between the light source and the stem at the time you composed this concept. 

I would also recommend rotating the image ninety degrees and removing some of the background.  By rotating you will change the perspective form looking down into the subject to looking up at the subject.  It has the looks of a kite.
