A corner is not the best location for a subject indicating tenacity as the environment in which the tenacity exists is not locally observable. I like that you did not use an empty background, but the overall picture has very little aesthetic appeal to me. A 7.

Nice composition. I like the contrast between the spikes on the plant and the worn surface of the rocks.

Really nice texture and subtle limited color range...you can almost feel the cactus prickles.

I like this. Not exactly sure why, must be the texture. I love the detail.

A difficult image to comment on really, it has simplicity and is minimal, but the elegance I associate with minimalism is lacking

*Critique Club*

I'm sitting here trying to come up with a crit and I honestly can't see anything that I would have liked to have seen done differently.
Focus, angle, lighting, everything seems right on to me.
If I HAD to pick something that I would change, I might have gotten a different duck.
There are 2 things about the duck that if they were not there might have improved the shot, but to the overall shot, they are very minor details. First, the duck is yellow with a reddish beak, but what is the red on his chest? I cannot think of anything that would be red on a duckies chest. Is it a tie? Anyway, it's a slight distraction trying to figure out what it is. Second, there is a small bit of sailors hat sticking out from behind the glass. doesn't seem to be adding anything to the shot. It appears that it's not really suposed to be there, so the tiny piece sticking out is anothing tiny distraction. Again, these are 2 very tiny things that don't really take away from the shot at all, but might 'clean it up' a bit had they not been there.
Overall beautiful shot, love the bubbles, placement of the duck and grapes is great in my opinion. I like that he is behind the glass. I don't have anything else to add...congrats. ~Heather~
