it is a stunning shot adam and i am also surprised it didnt do better ... i agree with the critique both the 'positives' and the 'negatives' ... amazed that you didnt get one comment .. that'd have to be a record i'd say .. pretty disappointing really ... i'm sure with your talent its just a temporary thing this small setback .. altho really, 5.7711 is a pretty good score in a free study .. :)

I can't believe that you didn't get any comments on this shot! I'm also surprised that it didn't break 6.

Compositionally, this is a strong shot, I think. There are three distinct "layers" visible -- the shore, the water and the sky. This gives the shot a sense of "movement" and balance. Also, there is a strong vanishing point created by the lines of the shore/water and water/horizon. This gives the eyes somewhere to "go" and keeps them from just sitting there.

Technically, I think you have done an awesome job of capturing the colors and "action" of the scene. The sky is absolutely gorgeous. The clouds add an extra element that is pleasing to look at, and the spray of the water is a good action capture. The focus seems good to me, as the details are visible largely throughout the image.

The only thing I would suggest is making it a bit brighter. The shot feels dark to me, especially in the foreground. I don't know how much post processing you did, or do as a rule in general, but I'm thinking dodging and burning (or something of the equivalent) could help bring out the interesting foreground so that the viewer didn't have to look at it quite so "hard" to get the full effect.

Overall, though, this is an awesome shot, and one that I think would make a rather nice print. Especially a large print.

If I need to further clarify or explain myself, please let me know.

I like the idea of the bug on the yellow wall. But the minimalism isn't really working on this one for me. I think a closer view would help.

too small to scare or even interest me!maybe improved by placing bug on Rule of thirds line intersection, not centrally on left third vertical

Comment by KarenNfld:
Very minimalistic. I think the yellow background suits your title and vice versa because it makes me think of a sunny southern location. Sadly there isn't much detail in the cockroach.
