Awesome shot! Looks like the turtle in the middle has mistaken the brick for another turtle :-)

nice photo. I like the cottonball clouds out in the distance. The photo could be brightened up just a little. The moon or flare right in the middle at the top of the frame is unfortunately distracting.

Composition - The first thing I noticed about this photo when I first saw it was that the angle could've been changed to hide the part in the lower left hand corner that is out of focus. It does add a little to the perspective of the photo but I believe it takes away from the overall composition more. The colors of the photo are great, from the flowers to the sky. Nice detail in this image though. I'm curious as to why the top of it was cut off as well.

Technical - Nice picture quality. Nice and clear with good focus, except for the little blur on the bottom right in the red part. You might've been able to avoid that with a greater F-number. Definitely excellent exposure. Framing is good too with the exception of taking this from a slightly different angle, or cropping that part on the lower left out of the picture. Saturation of the colors is good whether it was out of the camera or post-shot.

Overall - A nice photo but nothing outstanding. The subject just isn't as compelling as I'd like it to be, but that's just my opinion.
The little focus issue on the right side is probably the biggest area of concern and the angle thing is also a slight problem. Overall its fairly well taken. Good luck in future challenges - Inspzil

Good shooting. Think I'd have cropped out the whatever-it-is on top of the rock - pulls my eye against the clouds and the boat. I presume that's the moon - pity about the damn thing being so small, eh? ;-)

Maybe coulda been better with better lighting. Also, with so much of the water and rocks, weather isn't really a focus.
