I don't think you need to much of a critique here. This is a very nice photograph and pleasing to the eye. If I had to be picky it would be the at the bottom of the picture around the rock with moss. IMO it's a bit to dark but not much, I don't even think enough to make me take a point of of the picture.

Your horizon is level, nice use of DOF with F22 and the colors are so pleasing and calming to the eye. You did a great job with this picture in the Username challenge. Fits well and nice.

I hope you find this critique helpful. I wish you continued success in upcoming challenges.

A nice capture for Season and well composed. I think the problem is your photograph looks flat in the reds loosing a lot of detail. As one commenter said it is very hard to capture reds, particularly the highlights.

You filled the frame well and IMO I think you did a good job. Sometimes photographs are just had to take in certain situations and lighting and I think that happened here. I give you props for a good attempt. Keep up the good work and continue shooting. I wish you the best in up coming challenges.

As I look at you photograph is has a nice broken look to it but your main subject is not in focus enough to to put it over the top. It also seems to be a bit dark and the lighting seem to be to soft on the main subject.

You were very close here. If the focus would of been sharp on your subject and the lighting a little better you would have a great photograph. your composition is good and I like the black on the left.

Keep shooting and I wish you the best in future challenges.

I think the lighting is very harsh causing it very hard to make out your subject without the title. The photograph is very busy in the foreground and background which takes away from the subject as well. It looks more like a quick setup for the challenge which we all are guilty of from time to time.

I do feel this could of been a good shot with a little more setup time and shots to get the best lighting and other elements around the subject.

Keep shooting, you are on track and I wish you the best in challenge to come.

Nice photojournalistic photograph. I believe its cropped to tight and the harsh shadows take away from the details. With that said good capture and and focus.

LOL! I have to give high marks for this because of humor. Not only that your photograph has great sharpness, color, and lighting. The facial expression of both is priceless. Great capture!

Composition good but your picture is out of focus and the white balance is off. I like you concept, simple but something we all do. Good luck in the challenge.

I think you did a good job on the shallow dof. The background colors look good with the image. This is my opinion but what I think brought down your score was the tilted base of the statue and the fact that the statue is not a 'wow' subject. It is beautiful and I think you did a good job with the broken background. I wish you the best and more comments in the future.
