Good ol' lovely weeds! If you were in my backyard you'd have to call this From Death Unto Life Unto Death Unto Life Life Life... I think we have more dandelions than grass! Nice idea for this challenge. Using a pic for the background is a really cool idea but I think I agree with those below that mention that it seems busy - but it's hard to say without seeing what a solid color would look like. Oops forgot - I voted 7.

Lovely colors and very well composed. Also very clean. Looks like a place that I would love to turn in a morning jog. Beautiful. Edit: Didn't vote in this one but would have been at least a 7.

nice colours - I love the shades of blue of the sky. I also like the DOF but my eyes really want to see some larger buttercups - to see what they're like.

Hello from the Critique Club!!

As you said, this is a very technically sound shot. The vanishing point is clear and worked into the frame using the rule of thirds, as it should be. The colors are great and the depth of field is very deep, also as it should be for this type of picture.

The reason this photograph isn't as compelling is the subject matter. It isn't terribly interesting and doesn't have that "wow" factor that a lot of people look for. The bridge leaves the viewer a bit bored, leaving the eyes to wander, finding nothing else.

Overall you have a very well taken picture that lacks only a more interesting subject.

Great capture, nothing sweeter than a little girl with red roses. Maybe just a little dark ond flat in bottom right corner area. Well done ;)
