All of the elements of a good image are here, but it does seem a little weak. Your composition and exposure are good, but maybe the storyline is what is missing.

this perspective is very cool - I think a little bit of adjustment in levels to show more in the whites and lights could help

Good concept. Focus seems a little poor to me....I wish it was a little sharper...

I am not a good photographer, I do not claim to be better than anyone, any criticism is meant to be constructive criticism......

The Lone Red Flower

Comment by johnmcboston:
Interesting - the B&W portion of the image came out so well, I don't want any of it in color! :) The veins in the front flower are an amazing capture. This came out so well in B&W that the color ruins it. If anything, I might crop some of the left off to avoid that distraction.

Thinking a bit, if you wanted one red flower, I almost would have pulled back a bit so the one red flower stood out against a large section of bush. This close-up needs to be all B&W.

interesting idea and composition. could be a bit brighter I think which would help with the contrast between the whites and blacks

Nice composition, though it has the feel of a set up shot to me. Good choice to use B+W here.

I really like how the umbrella spokes sort of mimic the tree. And the silhouette in the background really shows up.

The idea and composition are well executed. The bland sky presents a major problem. It is also very apparent that you tried to darken it as there is a large halo separating the sky and trees across the photo. The people are too contrasty, while the road does not have enough contrast. With this being an advanced editing challenge, you could have made separate adjustments to both areas individually. Also, subjects walking away from the camera are so hard to capture well. The shots that I have viewed that work the best generally include some interaction between the two subjects.

Good composition - the sky seems a little over processed
