eh great shot but I can't help commenting that the boat isnt exactly a sailboat, which makes it hard to call this shot sailing... still a nice capture.

Great shot but wonder if you missed a trick by not making the buildings and the mountain backdrop the 'subject' of the photograph, as the sea and boat don't really add to the overall mood.

I like the colors and the off-centered composition. The vegitation looks a little wilted and the reflections are a bit chaotic.

nice composition. I like the blue background. The garnish is nice and doesn't draw your eye away from the rule of thirds focal point too quickly.

Great background and presentation. These are very tough to pull off. I think the reflections on the glass distract and a crystal clear shot is needed to match your wonderful backdrop, lemon and mint leaf.

It's become a bad habbit to request detailed info from critique club. I knew this wasn't a good image. It was just some picture I took while on another mission and found it just before deadline. This was taken on a beutiful day but the lighting conditions for photography were hard. I had to use high iso and the sunlight burned to hard. I didn't have a tripod with me because if i had I could have used lower iso and take the picture on time and also positioned myself better to take a more interesting picture. This is one of my so called drive by shooting pics ;-). Thanks anyway for the comment.

*Critique Club*

If you entered this only to participate, were you looking for critiques? I see you have found non of the ones you received as helpful, so I'm not really sure what I can add. What were you looking for when you requested the In Depth Critique? Am I wasting my time? Having little details on your image, I have no idea what you were going for with this image. It seems that you really don't care about it much, and to be brutally honest, it shows.
It's definately a branch, however, most of the photo is composed of the trunk, which is really a different part of the tree than the branch. The DOF is nice to get the background out of the way, but I wish focus on the tree itself were better. Seems soft.
Lighting is ok on the background, but dark on the tree, which makes the detail of the tree difficult to see
The tree is interesting, but I don't think you have presented it well. You did a good job of leveling your horizontal lines in the background. This just lacks something to really draw my interest. But judging on your comments, I think you know that.
