Hi from the C Club

You asked for your shot to be critiqued!

First off, fantastic colours, the warmth and depth of the colour really brings out teh thoughts of crisp mornings, apple pies and warm fires. Your lighting is very good as well.

I think that the only nitpick that i have is that it is such a powerful image that the bottom being out of focus throws you off. Would have liked to have seen that as tack sharp as the rest of the shot it. Also the water drop, it neither makes the shot worse or better, it is one of those could be coudnt be there not going to hurt the shot.

Overall , very pleasing shot, well done

Beautyful picture, BUT, an abstract image is not representing or imitating external reality or the objects of nature
