Greetings from the Critique Club!

Composition:

For me this is a nice abstract shot and the composition is good. However, I don't feel that the lines 'lead' the viewer to anything. In my opinion leading lines are something that grabs the viewers attention and pulls them in to the shot. Because of the choice of composition here, with being so close to the subject the viewer can't be lead into or around the image they are just hit straight between the eyes with the boat.

Technicals:

The lighting is a bit dull, more natural light on the day or a boost of the colours in PS may have helped this. It could be my eyes but the tire looks perfectly in focus whilst the boat itself looks a little soft. I also feel the shot could do with a little sharpening.

If you've got any questions about this critique, please feel free to contact me via the PM system.

looks like your little shroom is just outside the back end of your DOF - beautiful colors

interesting shallow DOF here, although it might have worked better having the entire mushroom in focus, rather than just the front edge and a slice of the ground

The blurred background looks great. I think the foreground does not need the same effect, and maybe could be cropped out.

I like the almost abstract feel of this. It feels to me like the dark 'triangle' should end closer to the 2/3 line maybe? Very cool look, though.

Beautiful shot. I'm sure I've seen this viollage in another shot. Either way, gorgeous and bumped to a 7.

makes well for a difference from your average macro shot.
