Interesting mixture ~ soft and hard textures.

The picture overall looks like it could do with a little sharpening and possibly greater DOF to get full front to back in focus.

strong diagonal and repetition make this a good composition - to make it even better I'd like to see a subject to add scale and perhaps a focal element (even color as the brown.green doens' grab me)

Comment by RedHotKK:
Nice composition but I don't think you quite nailed the texture element that was potentially there.

Your diagonal isn't working for you here. It leads me into and then right out of the picture. I think a lower perspective would help keep the viewer in the picture. 5

I like the rust color of the brick- and appreciate that you can see that color in the rose too.

Need a focal point to this one. This looks like a reasonable backdrop with no subject.

Nice contrast in textures between the structure and the water below. Is this a dam?

Nice thinking, nice idea for a contrast of textures. compositionally, I don't think this works - the relative angles of the two subjects is unharmonious, and the exclusion of so much of the rose (and perhaps also of the brick, though less so) seems restrictive. Your lighting hasn't allowed very much of the textures to come though however - it seems too general, not allowing those little graduations of surfaces to show.

not bad but not great - nothing much eye catching.
