Thank you for your comments on my last post.
Another shot with the same setting and lighting..I was testing different angles and came up with this one.
Nice idea, the DOF makes this one stand out. Not sure about the lighting, since I don't have studio type lights I generally find it hard to critique these.
I also tried a shot like this (with a bamboo) but I didn't succeed. However, your composition and lighting work very well. I also like the contrast between green and orange. Well done!
