Golden Trees - C&C Welcome

[fotugraphy]

Hi, going forward on my photography venture I stopped and clicked another shot. Can you please review it and let me know what exactly is missing for it to make it much better?

Please provide your views and suggestion with composition, crop and processing as i really liked the contrasty petals acting as layers.

Thank You

PS : Please click on the image for lightbox screen view (Highly recommended)

Raj,

interesting shot, surprised the light doesn't wrap around the trees more, perhaps it's because the trees are so close together.

Thanks for your kind review It is -2 ev shot with Matrix Metering mode. Seems under exposing the image by 2 stops killed the wrap light.

Hi Raj . At first sight, I said I wish there was more light. But then I read your explanation about -2 ev shot. I like the idea very much. May be it would have been look better with -1 ev, then you could have played with the shadows in PP. Thanks for sharing

I like the shot, I wish the leaves were in focus at the top though. Have you tried cropping them out and going for a more abstract image?

Thank you for your kind review and suggestion. Will try to process the -1 EV shot. I have that too

Thanks for your kind review and suggestion. If possible can you please show the crop which you were referring? Please feel free to use the image thanks
