Greetings from the Critique Club :)

This photo definitely meets the challenge with no problems. The water is the dominant theme in the image.

I can't really put my finger on what it is about this photo that makes me struggle though. It may be the composition. It may also be the background color. The brown in the background doesn't seem to complement the color of the flowers in any way. This could have been a good opportunity to consider the benefits of primary/secondary color combinations and how they work together to produce pleasing images.

I think the composition may seem uncomfortable because it is horizontal. The water spray is flowing along the short direction. If this composition was vertical, the flow of water through the scene could possibly be more appealing :)

Bridge Over Troubled Water

Hi phaedrus...

That waterfall behind the bridge is quite impressive. There appears to be a lot of heavy water flow here for obvious reasons.

There are a few items that could possibly help improve this photo. The twigs in the lower left corner are not really adding anything to the composition, so composing a bit differently may help remove those. The tilt of the bridge also seems to feel slightly awkward.

The lack of color in this color image also feels a bit odd. Maybe the light was not the best at this time of day for this particular photo. It also looks like there are some excellent photo opportunities from the bridge itself :)
