New Shoots

Sort of an obvious choice of subject. The shot looks a bit soft and the background is good at catching my attention. It might have been better with a lower angle to eliminate some of the detail in the background. You might have also found a nicer angle on the plants as one of the shoots is damaged and sort of detracts from the composition for me. 4

A nice idea if not a bit too cliché. I think a tighter composition might have been better as there seems to be a bit too much going on in this shot for me. 5

Fits the challenge topic but the composition isn’t very inspiring and the water droplet is very cliché. 4

Fits the challenge topic well but the composition is a bit too cluttered for me. Maybe it would have been better if you had focused in on just one of them. 5

Beginning at Day's End

The exposure on the bud (which I assume is the subject of the photo) seems a bit too hot. Subject seems to fit the challenge topic well but composition isn̢۪t all that strong. I would start by cropping away the top portion of the image, what does it add? 4
