I think the big thing that hurt you is there are too many distractions in this image for me. The hair pins for one. The shadow also. It is an ok image with great potential. You have a really creative idea whihc can be greatly improved. My advice to you is to reshoot this with better lighting.

It's a little bit too noisy for me, but strange colors make this photo attractive though

like the falls if it close i'd try to get a little different angle on it to include possibly more colors?

Hey there from the Critique Club

Camera Work/Technical: Great focus on the subject, especially considering the slow shutter. Slowing the shutter gives a nice, soft feel to the water. Your tonal range here is also very, very nice.

Lighting: Could not have been better. There are no distracting highlights or harsh shadows. You did a great job with this natural light exposure.

Composition/Content: A little bothersome. As others have said, the cropping is a bit too tight. Chopping the hands off almost always looks accidental rather than intentional. I'd also like to see the camera position shifted to the fight a bit and the field of view opened up to contain more of the waterfall and the cabin.

My Opinion: While it may be an environmental portrait, it is not immediately obvious. My view of this challenge was capturing someone immersed in their work or play while posed and looking at the camera. I think that this one would have scored better with the subject doing something, but pausing to glance at the camera for a capture. I hope this helps out.

I thought when I saw this one that it was a Krisby. ;)

Your lighting is getting better althought the sharp shadow behind the left hand and the high contrast of the right hand with the paper point to a little more work there. Love the work.

Comment by ericwoo:
It is really hard to tell what your subject is here and where exactly the failure is. It looks like your shutter speed was low and the shot was handheld, giving the entire photograph some blur. I do like the flowing composition, but I can't isolate the failure.

I really like this images, but the flat lighting really takes away from the mood. But I think the idea is there.

I like this photo, the slow shutter works well with the water fall. However I think there is too much empty space on the right of the photo. IMO a tighter crop when shooting would do much to improve this shot.
