Greetings from the Critique Club
By Inspzil

Composition - Well I see you're somewhere warmer than where I am. We just got rid of the last of our snow and have had milder temperatures for just a few days. Oh the critique, right. The composition of this photo is good. It isn't strong, or extraordinary, but there is nothing wrong with it. I like the background with this shallow DOF. There is a little color here and there to break up any monotony you might have. With the subject you chose, I think you did pretty well. The top flower looks like it might be a little washed out.

Technical - For a macro, its a little soft. I think that might be fixable with a sharpen or two. It might also be a result of the ISO set at 400. Color looks great. DOF is good and exposure is maybe just a touch too long. Nothing really out of place though.

Overall - The composition is good, but really lacks the "wow" factor. The photo is pretty well taken but I think I'd have set the ISO to 100 or less. Nothing about that picture is really wrong, but it doesn't have that little extra that'd make it stand apart from the rest. Hope that helps at least a little. Good luck on future challenges.

Good idea to use two hands to illustrate age and time, combined with the sand falling. Like it.

Good idea! Didn't like the border - too thick.

Nice idea (and departure from the clocks). I expect that a 'passing along' to the next generation is being insinuated. I think a grayscale/desaturated version of this might have been interesting touch as well. Good job!
