Phew, that's a closeup. Not sure what would make it have more WOW, but it's missing something for me. It may just be the colors - which I know is a matter of taste. I like the dof. I like the crop (3 dots, etc) - too bad the 4th white area couldn't be avoided - it's a little distracting. Good luck.
A favorite photograph of mine in this contest. Fits the challenge. Beautiful color, the texture is astounding. Looks like a needle point tapestry. Possibly the only thing I would like to see changed, is the left bottom corner, sharper focus to match the remaining print. No advice on how to achieve this, my macro shots are not nearly this stunning! Very well done.
I love the colour and composition.
I have looked at this a few time now, and I am not sure if the loss of focus top right and bottom left, helps this image or hinders it. - but my eye is drawn to those corners.
