Hello I'm a beginner Photographer and I want to learn, so please give you opinion on this image :)

This Photo was taken at night with the faint light of a street lamp.

Roland,

 

Thanks for submitting this interesting image. I like the subtle light and way it falls on the stem.

 

There are 2 suggestions I would make. I offer these as something for you to consider and they are just my personal opinion. As the artiist it is your opinion that matters.

 

First, I think the stem needs a bit more contrast.  In the screen shot below I selected the stem and leaves and applied a typical s-curve tone adjustment (lowering the shadows raising the midtones).

 

Second, I feel there is too much bare stem.  I do like how you ended in a corner. With that in mind I cropped it to a 2:1 aspect ratio has the horizontal aspect ratio favors the way the stem is oriented. Again I ended the stem in the corner.

 

I hope this gives you something to consider.

 

Best wishes,
