Greetings from the Critique Club :)

This photo does an excellent job on capturing motion. The mirror is an excellent touch in this photo as well. I am at a bit of a loss on exactly how to provide a detailed critique on this image. I don't really see anything wrong with it. I scored this photo a 7 when I voted last week. Going higher than that would have probably required some higher level of 'artistic' merit in the image. This is one of those photos where I would need to 'know' the girl in order to really go high score with it.

Keep up the good work :)

Comment by FranziskaLang:
challenge -- met
composition -- i like how the tree is a bit off-centered and then offset by that large purple leaf.
technical -- focus is nice, but the whole photo is a little, well, grainy is not the right word, but shows signs of oversharpening, especially in the background.
overall impression -- isolated the tree and leaf fairly well in what looks like a busy and crowded environment. some post-processing issues.

I think your DOF works well in this shot. I like that there is a good clear view of the tree, the fungus, and the strange purple leaf, and the soft diffuse background has a nice feel to it. Beautiful "nature-y" shot. 8
