Not quite so keen on this one Krishna, I find the background is a good contrast but the colour is a little dominant, I suspect if you modified the green background it would help emphasise the iridescence - it seems to pick up the seed heads, I think a different tone would help.

Thank you for the comment.

Can you explain further.

The background is in shade. This was backlight at sunset.

Krishna it's purely a matter of taste I would have tried tog et the subject against a different background..

The colors in this are great. Image quality looks very good for ISO 6400. I can't decide if this should be shot very tight or very loose. I like the framing on the bottom right not so much the top left though. Nice to see something different.
