Moss Party

Interesting OOF abstract. You might consider cropping some of the right side to better show off the main attraction.

Interesting and creative image, Ingrid.

I like the scattering of sharp moss parts and the colors in the background. I find the almost sharp moss stalks near the left edge distracting and wonder about blurring those digitally. I could also see cropping the darkest 10% on the right.

Thanks so much for your comments!
I had wondered about the composition (especially the dark bit on the right), but I didn't want to cut into the bokeh at the top. And I didn't want to lose the 2:3 format, which is the format I prefer. However I have now cropped the image, still in 2:3 and thus chopped off a bit of the bokeh - what do you think...better?
Thanks for your valued opinions!
Ingrid.

I think I prefer this as you had it originally, Ingrid. I feel the bright lights in the bg need space to look best - they seem to me a touch overpowering in the cropped version. A very creative and moody image - love it !!

Thanks Ian, I look forward to receiving more comments re. the composition.
@Mark: sorry, I forgot to reply previously to your question of blurring the moss stalks on the left. I never have the same feeling for a photograph if I start concealing things, be it blurring or cloning...therefore I don't. I'd rather then show you the imperfections (if I didn't manage to avoid them while taking the photo) - but that's just me and I value your opinion a lot, means I'll look more carefully next time again.
Thanks all!
Ingrid.

I think the repost works well. For me, it tells the same story in a clearer way. Clearly, once you start getting into the details of comp. and processing, your into the artistic vision.

The re-post is just what I was asking for. Good job

Ingrid ..I like images like this one ...lovely frame and composition.
