***Greetings from the critique club***

Your lighting seems pretty even. I think you may have oversharpened this some -- sometimes less is more when it comes to sharpening. You may want to search for a method called 'lab sharpening' as it seems to give a better result when a lot of sharpening is needed.

As far as composition, it's decent, but nothing that really pulls the user in.

Picture this shot as an ad...the bowl in the lower right corner, one opened container behind that and to the left..but higher in the frame. One thing I've noticed seems to help with a shot like this is to crop. Take your mouse and position it in the center of the image...now drop it down about a half-inch...that is the 'visual center' of the photo as far as a viewer is concerned. Now that spot should fall somewhere between (or relatively close to) an imaginary line between the two spots of main interest in your photo -- when this happens, the viewer's eyes will flow nicely through the picture, and stop wherever he or she chooses.

Nice shot though nonetheless, and a creative idea. You have some really good shots in your portfolio, so keep shooting...and focus on that composition.

What a beautiful location... I like the picture alot... however the water on your lens stands out. The saturation is good... except the grassy area (looks too saturated with colour for me).
Keep up the good work!

Comment by SDW:
Color looks good here. Some may think its over saturated but I don't think so. I think what is happening is the foreground is over powering the subject (bridge/waterfall). I would of like to seen the top of the bridge down a little more and not as much or any of the grass. I think this would balance the saturation. Hope that helps. With all that said I still think it's a good shot. Again I love the scene.

Nice use of ss, I like the water fall.

Very nice site to take a picture. I feel the horizon needs to be straight as well. Looks to me like the picture has a haze over it, kind of like the contrast is off. Like you would see if taken through a car window or lens fogged up. Other than that looks good. I think it could use a little more processing. Good composition.

I like how the child's clothes and toy appear to contrast the dimness of the surrounding. I rate it a 7, 10 be the highest.

Lovely shot with great detail and reflections. You might want to consider straightening the horizon just a tad - it seems like it's tilting down to the left a bit. Just my 2 cents.

Comment by SJCarter:
These are great looking geese, but the fact that they are so far away and the business of the grass are real distractions. You've obviously got some good detail here, I would suggest cropping much closer and bringing up the color and contrast. Just my 2 cents...

Great capture! We've got fawns and deer everywhere around where I live (probably see 10/day), but I just can't seem to get close enough for a good shot! LOL I agree that the crop is a little tight and it does look just a tad (very very small amount) overprocessed, but you've got great detail and I like the basic composition. Nice job.

neat idea, but a little less neat image as well, and this would move this image up the rankings.
