Maybe if the rocks were showing more under the water, it would have been perfect :)

I really enjoy the composition here. Good use of near middle far. I also like the emphasis on the blue tones as it really brings a nice mood to the photo.

From your title, it seems that you meant for the grasses to be the subject... however they seem to blend into the background behind them. Perhaps moving the camera angle up or down might have helped isolate the grasses a little better. The tones look very nice though.

It really does look like that! A different approach - overlapping the foreground with the background, I like it :)

Looks good in black and white. Seems to lean to the right though.

The shore limit

Comment by photokariangel:
This is Kari Ann, greetings from the Critique Club:

composition: The shore line creates a very nice leading line for the photo. also, the horizon is in a good spot, as each of the bushes lead your eye to the center of the image. But, with that, there isn't a subject in the center, so it kinda loses that impact.

color: nice colors, but all a little bland. non have a concrete 'pop' effect. that may have been what you were going for though, so i'll leave it at that.

contrast: good contrast, but the sky could have really been pushed to the limit here, making it much more dramatic.

focus: good focus, nice use of a small aperture for overall sharpness

depth of field: again, good choice of f14.

lighting: nice overcast lighting

other: to me, this could have been much more dramatic, especially that you used HDR. But, some like to keep it simple, and i think this is what you were going for. i think that's what may have hurt your score, it just didn't have enough pop or WOW effect. I think this is a nice image, so to each his/her own, i suppose. Keep shooting, I'm looking forward to watching your profile grow! If you have any questions, feel free to PM me any time.
-Kari Ann
