Well, this was my vote! I really like the subject - it's placement in the frame (the way the stem is sweeping across the frame is very attractive). The lighting on the olives delivers brightness to the scene and is accentuated with glistening light in the background. The slight vignette holds the scene together nicely.

Lovely combination of colors used in this art work indeed i love the way you caught these amazing olives and shades created a wonderfull touch to the composition as if a mystic background is behind the main subject it shows a wonderfull balance between subjects. Well done indeed

Comment from Dick Lee Shia
Aptly captured for the contest theme...

Excellent choice of verdant subject with sharply focused
fine features & textures.

Fantabulous superimpositions creating ghostly images.

Subtle illumination.
Aesthetic framing.
Impressive entry.
Potential voters choice...

Best of luck in the contest!

Thanks for sharing...

A beautiful look at these olives on the branch! The olives, branch, and leaves are all nice and sharp. I like the out of focus olives in the background.

I really love this olive branch.
The blending in the colors along with a reflective background is stunning.
The details in the leaves are incredible. It is amazing how you transform a simple branch into a remarkable work of art.
Perfect and in my eyes the future winner of the contest.

A wonderful picture of this Olive tree branch laded with ripening green Olives bathed in sunshine the background seeming to be a reflection of the branch disappearing into it's misty distance. Artistic composition framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

I think I recognize the artistic feel of the scene. The reflective background mirror the olives and give a great depth for the scene. The use of light is super effective to continue the feeling of depth. Good luck in the contest.
