Overall feedback on the image. Is the depth of field too small or too large?

Larry: Really good effort here. I like your DOF choice and the lighting especially. You’ve taken a pretty mundane subject and created a fine image. Most excellent.>=))>

The backlighting makes this shot for me, Larry. Love how the lighting is showing through the seed pods. The DOF works for me.
