Needed a bit more focus. I like the composition.

not a very contrasty tonal range on the bark. could benefit from stronger lighting.

Mmm, maybe an outdoor shot would make this much more interesting, but that´s just me...

I like the windy day effect shown by the statuette, but the background (wrinkles, not folds) detracts from the picture.

there are a number of things that could be done to improve your picture.

lighting - the lighting is not very interesting and is casting in the same direction of the shot, which creates a flat looking image. i would try and experiment with different lighting directions.

background - the background could be improved by moving the figure further away from the cloth drop. there is nothing really wrong with the cloth, but if the figure was further from it there wouldn't be harsh black shadows casting on the cloth.

crop and perspective - i would suggest getting closer to your subject and trying to pick out what it is that interests you. once you find what it is, you can get closer on it and leave out all the other parts. also along with getting closer you could try different angles to shoot from that would create unusual views, which would in turn interest the viewer.

working on these things would improve any picture from looking like you are trying to sell something, to something more artistic.

mm - getting to see too many spanners ijn this challenge but....vote on all equally. Like the choice of colours here. Might be improved with slightly better focus? Fine shot though.

Too small and grainy. More subject and less background would also be better.

This would be a much better picture on a different day. Lets just pick a day like June 30th. Sky is utterly depressing as I live in Michigan and I know all about this crappy sky business. Looks like it could be an interesting picture, just not when you took it.
