Nice close view of the acorn! Detail is pretty good and clear. A lot of the acorn is in shadows, making it hard to really see the subject of the photo well. Perhaps you were trying to avoid putting it in your own shadow while shooting?

Nice idea, would have been nice had it been sharper.

The lighting on this is ok, but the ends of the pineconeare blown out and the shadows are a bit dark for my taste. Also the grass makes the backdround to busy a composition.

Isn't this a pinecone?? The idea is nice, but the surrounding area is too busy and the light a tad too harsh. I with it were in better focus. It could make a nice photo if it were.

LIghting is very harsh. The subject and the background are close enough in texture and color to give the shot a lot of visual confusion. The piece of grass that moved during the shot (in front of the pinecone) is distracting.

beautiful place, but that sunny patch on the bridge is too bright and it draws all my attention to that one particularly not so flattering area, instead if the lines.

Great composition but bad time of day to try to capture this shot. I even like your use of a square crop which often doesn't work well. But the lighting is horribly harsh causing to dark of shadows and blown out highlights. Try reshooting a couple of hours before sunset or a couple of hours before sunrise and I bet this would be an awesome shot!

This is a pleasant image, but I feel that the path and the wall on the right are a bit overexposed.

Meets the challenge, and looks like a very beautiful area. Shadows are well exposed but the walk way is blown out on the right side as are some of the treetops, IMHO.

Nice, but the sunlight is very harsh. A different time of day probably would have been better.
