I like the way the linear direction sets up one contrast, as does the texture of the rocks and feet, adn the tan lines. I do think cropping some of the empty part on the right would help to focus attention on the feet better, if that is what you wanted to do.

Nice shot. I think it would heve even been better ifyou had just simply concentrated on the feet without the shadows. There is tons of contrast in the feel alone. 6

If that black spot were on the left big toe these could be my own feet! The real contrast is between the feet and the stones, which works wonderfully, but i really don't like the big cut-off shadow.

Hi Taylor!

Composition
You mostly wanted compositional thoughts, so here are mine: the perspective is unique - coming from a low angle up is good. But in this case, it left the very bright background behind a darker subject. The subject then becomes harder to see. My view of your subject is that little tuft of green stuff? Get closer! Show us its character.

Color
I think the natural light and your camera overexposed this shot. If it were not against a sky background, however, it would look more saturated and natural.

Focus
The focus on this shot is actually EXCELLENT. I wouldn't have changed this.

Lighting
A bit bright, harsh light - maybe try shooting the same subject a few hours earlier or later in the day to take away the harshness?

Subject matter
A great example of flora. I just wish it was closer and larger.

Overall
You say you have the DiMage 7 but that you can't get larger shots than this? Something doesn't match up to me. Either way - get closer to the subject, try to eliminate the harsh reflections and good luck in future challenges!

Hi Bass...

This photograph probalby has some merit, but it's too small for me to critique it effectively. I also feel that it's too far outside the challenge theme. I do see your intent with this photo, but I think it's too extreme to do well.

Cheers :)

Pretty. It's hard to see what's going on because the photo is small, but I like the feeling of being in a forest on a sunny day.

Small picture: you ought to figure out how to make it bigger, then these wonderful leaves would be larger and easier to judge. I love the contrasts between the small leaves and the bark.

hard to really see what's happening as the various details all sort of merge together in color and busy-ness.
